Azure Data Factory

What Azure Data Factory is

Azure Data Factory is a paid, web-based service for data integration and transformation. It uses a hybrid deployment model and a mixed transformation mode, supporting workflows that span the environments covered by that setup. Incremental loading is available for processing newly available data, while change data capture identifies data changes for pipeline handling. Custom code transforms allow teams to apply their own transformation logic. Azure Data Factory does not offer a free plan. The listing gives the company headquarters as Redmond, Washington, USA, and records 1975 as its founding year. Its website provides product information for organizations assessing data workflow tools. When considering the service, the key listed points are web access, hybrid deployment, mixed transformation, incremental loading, change data capture and custom code transforms. These capabilities define how it can fit into an organization’s integration and transformation requirements.
