2021 was a great year for Azure data engineering books and "Cloud Scale Analytics" was one of my favorites. This book provides broad and practical coverage of the Azure data engineering toolbox. I’m grateful Mr. Borosch shared his knowledge and wrote an excellent book, one that I reference time and time again on my projects. If you’re a SQL BI developer looking to learn Azure data engineering, this is the book to get.

I received this book from a Packt representative. As a practitioner of data management and analytics, I found this book to be comprehensive for anyone looking to implement their data and analytics platform on Azure. What I like about this book is that it is organized into logical sections and depending on your data journey and familiarity with Azure products you can dive right into the section of interest. I would highly recommend this book for anyone looking to implement Synapse as their data warehouse and use related Azure services for data preparation (ELT/ETL), Dashboard and reporting and advanced analytics.

Dave Jul 23, 2021

What I loved the most about the book is how well balanced it is, it takes time to explain technologies and concepts well enough for people to understand without deep knowledge on the subject but then goes into the weeds so that also existing specialists can learn a few things. There is something in it for all. I also like the flow starting with the benefits of Data Lakes and differences to Data Warehouse, covering the connecting requirements and technologies, storage layer, synapse SQL Pools and SQL options. All in all, the book covers all that you need for a modern data warehouse incl. Data integration and transformation and data presentation, dashboarding and distribution. It becomes evident the broad experience the author has of all his years working on this topic with different customers.

This is the first time I have found a book which holistically covers all the aspects in a single book which are important to know about, when building to a cloud scale analytical solution.As it refers most of the time to the Azure platform, the author also pointed out which other technology pieces and solutions may apply when going on this journey.For me this book feels like a brain dump of one of the most recognized Microsoft Cloud Solution Architects in Europe.The number of possibilities with Azure Synapse and the associated services is described very well with a lot of details how to get things up and running. Specifically, the integration of SQL Pools and Apache Spark and the Azure Cognitive Service is a highlight, as it describes how to enrich your data with predictive intelligence.I love the aspects of many new or not even released technologies being pointed out in the book, like the Industry Data Workbench and the Data Governance with Azure Purview. The integration between Purview and Azure Synapse Workbench is explained on real usage scenarios and benefits for the data engineer.The concept of Power BI enabled self-service data marts is explained how to do it from a practical point of view.The book is targeted more at practitioners than on scientist who want to learn about the theoretical background. But it gives some very useful examples how to organize the Data Lake to make sure not ending up with a data swamp, which is a common pitfall.After having read the book, I wanted to learn more about the new services introduced in the book. I can imagine there is plenty of content out there which might be good for a second edition of this book.Overall a must read for people getting started with Azure and Azure Synapse Analytics in particular.

Full Disclosure: I am a Microsoft employee and I do know Patrik.That being said, I know the Azure analytics ecosystem very well and have read through his book with a critical eye. I've found his treatment of the subject to be comprehensive (in breadth) covering structured data, unstructured data, data lake, data warehouse, real time streaming, batch data processing, presentation layer, etc.Overall he has done a great job of explaining cloud scale analytics in Azure for those new to the subject, which can be a very complicated due to the plethora of technologies. The uninitiated will do well to have a proper guide and this book can be that guide.It should be noted that any of the areas covered may need supplemental depth materials as this book is more broad than deep. Aside from that, Patrik has put together an extremely helpful set of materials that would benefit anyone working in the analytics space on Azure.
