Slides and Video from Building a Regret-free Foundation for your Data Factory Now Available

Last week, Kerry and I delivered a webinar with tips on how to set up your Data Factory. We discussed version control, deployment, naming conventions, parameterization, documentation, and more.

Here’s our agenda from the presentation.

Slide showing top regrets of data factory users: Poor resource organization in Azure
Lack of naming conventions
Inappropriate use of version control
Tedious, manual deployments
No/inconsistent key vault usage
Misunderstanding integration runtimes
Underutilizing parameterization
Lack of comments and documentation
No established pipeline design patterns
List of top regrets from Data Factory users that they wish they had understood from the beginning

If you missed the webinar, you can watch it online now. Just go to the DCAC website, fill in the required fields with your info, and the video will be shown.

If you’d like a copy of the slides, you can download the PDF here. There is a list of helpful links at the end that you may want to check out.

I hope you enjoyed our webinar. Leave me a comment if you have other experiences with ADF where a design or configuration choice you made in the beginning was difficult or tedious to fix later. Help other ADF developers avoid those mistakes.

  1. Would love to see this extended with use of bicep to generate ARM templates and only deploy changes to your data factories
