Welcome to 2021! Herzlich Willkommen in 2021!
Another week and other data links for you! I hope you had a great weekend – I spent mine outdoors – long walks and long runs.. and it was great to be outside in the snow!
But now – let’s come back to dataplatform news.
Azure Synapse
- If you ever wondered how the actual Synapse SQL architecture looks like, the docs.microsoft.com pages dedicated to this topic are a great start: Synapse SQL architecture – Azure Synapse Analytics | Microsoft Docs
- Serverless SQL Pools – Serverless SQL pool – Azure Synapse Analytics | Microsoft Docs
- Dedicated SQL Pools – What is dedicated SQL pool (formerly SQL DW)? – Azure Synapse Analytics | Microsoft Docs
Power BI
- Reza Rad wrote an article – How to organize workspaces in a Power BI environment.. I really like the concepts he introduces in this article – How to organize workspaces in a Power BI environment? – RADACAD
- I did not know that page – an overview about Connectors in Power Query – listed by source system PLUS the availability in the Power Query system (Excel, Power BI datasets/dataflows, PowerApps, Customer Insights and Analysis Services). This link is definitely in my bookmark-shortlist! – List of all Power Query connectors | Microsoft Docs
We Don’t Need Data Scientists, We Need Data Engineers! What do you think? Is this a right assumption? We Don’t Need Data Scientists, We Need Data Engineers – Mihail Eric
