Synapse¶

Azure Synapse Analytics (formerly SQL Data Warehouse) is a Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) data warehouse that can handle large amounts of data and provides a scalable solution for analytics.

Synapse Link¶

Azure Synapse Link for Azure Cosmos DB creates a tight integration between Azure Cosmos DB and Azure Synapse Analytics, allowing you to run near real-time analytics over operational data in Azure Cosmos DB. It creates a "no-ETL" (Extract, Transform, Load) environment that allows you to analyze data directly without affecting the performance of the transactional workload, which is exactly what is required in this scenario.

What is PolyBase?

PolyBase is a technology used to query data from different data sources through SQL Server. In this way, it is possible to combine data in different formats and different sources at a single point.

Azure Data Share enables organizations to securely share data with multiple customers and partners. Data providers are always in control of the data that they've shared and Azure Data Share makes it simple to manage and monitor what data was shared, when and by whom.
