Fabric Data Factory Design Pattern – Dynamically Start a Child Pipeline

In an earlier post titled Fabric Data Factory Design Pattern – Basic Parent-Child, I demonstrated one way to build a basic parent-child design pattern in Fabric Data Factory by calling one pipeline (child) from another pipeline (parent). In a later earlier post titled Fabric Data Factory Design Pattern – Parent-Child with Parameters, I modified the parent …

One Way to Invoke Fabric Data Factory Pipelines Using the Fabric REST API

I’m an automation weenie, that’s a fact. It’s why I’m drawn to frameworks – especially data engineering execution orchestration frameworks. Speaking of frameworks, if you haven’t checked out Martin Schoombee’s series titled Building a Framework for Orchestration in Azure Data Factory: A Series, you are missing out. First, Martin is scary smart. Second, he shares practical …

Why is There an Image on Empty Fabric Synapse Data Engineering Screens?

I’m not sure why there’s an image on empty Microsoft Fabric Synapse Data Engineering screens, but I have a theory. My theory makes sense if you compare a Fabric Synapse Data Engineering screen with the image and verbiage, “There’s nothing here yet Add something new, or upload something to see them here.” with the Fabric …

Scaffold Design Pattern in Fabric Data Factory Pipeline

When assigned a project, it’s tempting – and dangerous – to Just Start Coding. If you suffer from the urge to develop first and design later, you are not alone (there’s at least one other developer like you and he’s typing this post). Do yourself a favor and… Design First As the definition of “design” …
