While working on data integration projects and using Azure Data Factory as your main orchestration tool will help you to develop strategic forward thinking about your development tasks: to ponder on what your data sources are, point of destinations to land this information into a new data model and transformation steps to shape data from the source to its destination. Just like when you play chess and have to plan ahead several of your next moves.
Along with this structural thinking to develop and execute your data flows, timely notifications of when something goes left or right would give you additional peace of mind.
Something I appreciate in this post is that Rayis contrasts the Azure Data Factory techniques with SSIS methods, giving you a solid base for comparison.
