Difference between Azure Data Factory and Azure Synapse Analytics
Azure Synapse and Azure Data Factory are both Microsoft cloud-based services for data integration and orchestration, but they have different purposes and use cases:
Azure Synapse
An analytics service that's well-suited for large-scale, complex data processing, and big data analytics. It's a platform for managing, preparing, and serving data for machine learning and business intelligence (BI) purposes. Azure Synapse supports unstructured data and allows users to perform analysis with various programming languages, including Python and Spark.
Azure Data Factory
A hybrid data integration service that's better for simpler ETL workflows, smaller datasets, and infrequent processing needs. It offers features like real-time integration and parallel processing, and it can integrate different data sources without code. Azure Data Factory is more cost-effective and easier to manage than Azure Synapse.
Here are some other things to consider when choosing between Azure Synapse and Azure Data Factory:
- Hybrid approach - Organizations can use Azure Data Factory for orchestration and initial data movement, and then use Azure Synapse for heavy transformations and analytics.
- Cost - Azure Synapse is more expensive than Azure Data Factory, but it may offer long-term savings in operational efficiency.
- Serverless architecture - Azure Data Factory's serverless architecture helps improve data workflow flexibility and efficiency.
