Lessons Learned: Implementing Azure Synapse Analytics in a Rapidly-Changing Startup (Presented at SQLBits on March 11th, 2022) What happens when you mix one rapidly-changing startup, one data analyst, one data engineer, and one hypothesis that Azure Synapse Analytics could be the right tool of choice for gaining business insights? We had no idea, but we gave it a go! Our ambition was to think big, start small, and act fast – to deliver business value early and often. Did we succeed? Join us for an honest conversation about why we decided to implement Azure Synapse Analytics alongside Power BI, how we got started, which areas we completely messed up at first, what our current solution looks like, the lessons learned along the way, and the things we would have done differently if we could start all over again.
