Have you used Azure Data Factory within the last 6 months?

Do you move data?...

• From OnPrem to Cloud
• From data store to data store
• Not real time
• Large amounts of data
• Parallelizable

Do you like ...

• Pay per execution time
• Serverless
• JSON based setup, with GUI help
• Scheduling
• No code
• SSIS packages ?!?! 

What I have used it for

• FTP to blob copy
• OnPrem Oracle to Azure SQL Copy
• Blob to Azure SQL Copy 
• Mostly one offs or Daily Jobs

Why not use...

• Logic apps?
• Azure functions?
• DIY
