Azure Synapse Analytics is Microsoft’s unified, highly integrated, cloud native data analytics service. It combines a range of well established, trusted data engineering tools, simplifying their integration and management. It encapsulates core analytics tools into a single eco-system, allowing engineering teams to focus immediately on solving business problems, without the large upfront cost of architecting a platform in which to do so.

Development and management of Synapse resources takes place in a web-based, single pane of glass application called Synapse Studio. The application is the one stop shop for workspace construction, development, monitoring and management. It unifies the various workspace resources into a single, consistent user experience, bringing historically disparate technologies together in a way that lowers barriers to entry and accelerates engineer productivity.

The pace of change in data analytics has never been faster, and with each innovation the job of engineers and architects becomes ever more complicated. Azure Synapse Analytics reduces this complexity by combining data integration, data warehousing, and Big Data analytics into a single developer experience.

Authors Paul Andrew and Richard Swinbank, Microsoft Data Platform MVPs, provide a practical overview of this cloud native highly scalable analytics platform, exploring what, why and how for each service within it. While Azure Synapse Analytics offers a unified flexible toolset for data professionals, navigating the technical and architectural options can be bewildering. You'll learn about each service individually, and how to combine them into a powerful end to end platform for delivering next-generation data analytics.
