El libro se encuentra a la mitad de camino entre un libro técnico y lo que se conoce como un "Cookbook". Entonces no se puede profundizar en tópicos de interés ni se puede entender como sería un funcionamiento adecuado de la plataforma. No posee nada sobre soluciones analíticas en el contexto de Big Data. De hecho, la mayoría de las guías son sobre base de datos relacionales.

Empecé buscando ideas sobre operacionalización de tareas a través de json, como crear clusters de manera eficiente, y/o como orquestar soluciones que funcionan principalmente utilizando como fuentes datos semiestructurados.

Puede ser de utilidad para aquellos desarrolladores de SSIS que estén migrando los sistemas a entornos cloud.

It says so in the title; this book helps you understand Azure Data Factory.

It contains some basic examples and walks you through the rest of the Azure servises like data lake, HDInsight, Data bricks etc.

I would’ve expected a little more depth and some demanding real life examples in order to understand the value of ADF.
