Description

Data is at the heart of all applications and forms the foundation of modern data-driven businesses. With the multitude of data-related use cases and the availability of different data services, choosing the right service and implementing the right design becomes paramount to successful implementation. Data Modeling for Azure Data Services starts with an introduction to databases, entity analysis, and normalizing data. The book then shows you how to design a NoSQL database for optimal performance and scalability and covers how to provision and implement Azure SQL DB, Azure Cosmos DB, and Azure Synapse SQL Pool. As you progress through the chapters, you'll learn about data analytics, Azure Data Lake, and Azure SQL Data Warehouse and explore dimensional modeling, data vault modeling, along with designing and implementing a Data Lake using Azure Storage. You'll also learn how to implement ETL with Azure Data Factory. By the end of this book, you'll have a solid understanding of which Azure data services are the best fit for your model and how to implement the best design for your solution.

The book covered logical modeling and transitions to SQL and No SQL for Azure. And, covered data warehouse and data lake with dimensional and data vaults. Definitely covered the gamut. Well done.

Reading through the table of contents, you realize the author is trying to get a lot of information into your hands through the course of the book. While it seems like a lot (and it is), this book does an excellent job of laying the foundation for not only what a database is, but what your relational database options are in the cloud. It builds on that to walking the reader through a solid introduction to the basics of the various database platforms on Azure and how the basics get done on those platforms. This is a really nice introduction to databases, data modeling, and working with those databases in Azure. I highly recommend it for folks new to a data career or wanting to give themselves a broader base to their data career.

This is a very comprehensive introduction into the Azure Data Engineering landscape starting out with an introduction into the background of how databases came to be all the way through to implementing best practices in the Azure Landscape including both SQL and NoSQL based data implementations.This book would be a very good guide for both seasoned and non-seasoned Data Engineers, both as an introduction and and as reference material for those that are longer in the tooth.Peter has a very good writing style which makes it easy to understand even the most complex of ideas and will definitely be keeping an eye out for any new books he writes on the subject.

Note: I have received an advanced copy for free from publisher.The book “Data Modeling for Azure Data Services” is a perfect read for professionals and interested individuals who would like to learn more about fundamental database designs and concepts. Starting with traditional relational systems (OLTP), the book also covers NoSQL and OLAP technologies that are extensively explained in the context of Azure PaaS (Azure SQL DB, Azure Cosmos DB, Azure Data Lake and Azure Synapse SQL Pool). In the final chapter the author introduces Microsoft’s ETL Tool, the Azure Data Factory, which can be used to load, visually transform and orchestrate the data in an Azure Analytics architecture.The theoretical content is complemented by exercises and code snippets that are also available in Github. This opportunity to implement the explained concepts makes the book truly valuable in practice as well – especially when new to Azure, but also when optimizing and challenging existing designs.
