Leveraging Azure Data Factory

Azure Data Factory (ADF) evolved from the on-premises version called Data Management Gateway. Recognizing the shift to cloud computing, Microsoft revamped and launched ADF to serve the growing demand for cloud data solutions. ADF is built on the philosophy of “code-free” data integration. It emphasizes visual tools, allowing users to build, deploy, and manage data transformation processes without needing to write extensive code. In this section, we are going to look at the capabilities offered by ADF and see how it can simplify building pipeline orchestration.

Primary components of ADF

ADF provides an ensemble of features designed to handle the vast demands of data integration in a cloud-first world. A robust understanding of these components is crucial to leverage ADF fully. Let’s discuss them in the following sections.
