Azure Synapse Analytics is a comprehensive and unified platform to build modern data warehouse from end to end. This book does a great job in describing Azure Synapse Analytics, its different engines - dedicated and serverless pool, based on MPP (Massively Parallel Processing) for your relational distributed workloads, and Spark pool for big data workload needs - and to get you started with step by step instructions. Further, it neatly covers how to build data integration pipelines and finally on consumption side, how to connect Power BI for visualization and to build machine learning models. If you are beginner, this book has step by step instructions to get you started quickly on Azure Synapse Analytics or if you are an experienced developer/architect this book has sections dedicated to help design modern analytics platform based on lambda architecture (batch and real-time) as well as provides proven best practices to optimize the performance of your application.

This book approaches Synapse from all angles with an insider's view.You'll find a lot of books on data warehousing and designing your schemas, but they all contain very little information on how to actually build your pipelines and ingest data using Synapse specific tools, with a focus on leveraging all the bells and whistles the product has.This book fills in those gaps and helps you make the most of this workhorse of an offering from Microsoft. If you're on the fence, by all means get this book. Highly recommended.

Behind Closed Doors is a book that tries to answer many important questions and describes all important concepts of Analytics and Predictive modeling. The plot starts with the basics of analytics then covers all the important features of Synapse - Serverless and dedicated pool. It covers a wide variety of details of this area. I recommend this book for all freshers and experience holders with new legs in this area.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
