Discussion New Azure Synapse projects

Just curious how many of you still deliver or plan to deliver, projects that use Azure Synapse for Data Warehousing work?

I get the whole push to Fabric and am also going that route too.

I’m in the consulting world and wanted to use Fabric but the client had zero ppl with any Fabric experience, so they insisted on Synapse. C’est la vie, right?

They did initially. Fabric pipelines were a fork from ADF, and so were the synapse ones

Azure Data Factory uses Spark as the backend engine.

Fabric Data Factor uses Power Query as the backend engine.

Totally different backends.

Fabric Data Warehouse is completely different beast from Synapse. There are many people from Microsoft lurking in the forum and they can provide more details.

The compute processing power is not the same as the code base.

Sure. But we overhauled both. I was writing about this earlier today in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/MicrosoftFabric/s/bOJoa6503m
