Azure Data Factory has made the process of creating data-driven workflows in the cloud a lot easier. By using Data Factory, users can create data pipelines which can move and transform data and then run the pipelines on a specified schedule (hourly, daily, weekly, etc.). Users can control the pipeline mode and can schedule them once a day or one time.
Data Factory is also very much helpful in transforming the data into usable context with meaningful insights. Analysts, Data Scientists, and business decision-makers can be benefited a lot from ADF. In response to the rise in the demand for ADF applications, companies are now integrating ADF into their workforce on a large scale.
This has greatly increased the demand for the skilled & certified professionals in this platform.
