Hope Foley shares a secret with us:
I love my job! One of the things I do for a living is to help customers get started with new services in Azure to finagle their data. Many times we’ll start with a small POC to just start to understand the parts and pieces, and I teach them along the way. I work with a lot of customers so being quick and nimble helps. Lately I’ve been using PowerShell to setup the pieces needed for a full Synapse Analytics environment, including an example set of 4 pipelines (2 to extract to ADLS, 2 to upload to dedicated SQL pool). Pulling data out of large relational databases into the data lake became a request I heard over and over so I automated it. I’ve added and tweaked this over the years into a project I called “Synapse Load” and put a version out in my github.
