Azure Data Integration Pipeline Training
Advanced Design & Delivery (A Deep Dive)
2 Day
Overview
In this course we'll quickly cover the fundamentals of data integration pipelines before going much deeper into our Azure resources.
Within a typical Azure data platform solution for any enterprise grade data analytics or data science workload an umbrella resource is needed to trigger, monitor, and handle the control flow for transforming datasets, with the goal being actionable data insight. Those requirements are met by deploying Azure Data Integration pipelines, delivered using Azure Synapse Analytics or Azure Data Factory. In this session, I'll show you how to create rich dynamic data pipelines and apply these orchestration resources in production. Using scaled architecture design patterns, best practice, data mesh principals, and the latest metadata driven frameworks. We will take a deep dive into the services, considering how to build custom activities, complex pipelines and think about hierarchical design patterns for enterprise grade deployments. All this and more in a complete set of 12 modules (based on real world experience) we will take you through how to implement data integration pipelines in production and delivered advanced orchestation patterns.
If that's not enough learning for you, a set of hands-on labs will also be made available that you can work through at your own pace. Whether you are new to Azure Data Integration Pipelines or have some experience, you will leave this course with new skills, ideas, and a much deeper understanding of the resources for your future data platform projects.
