Overview of this book

ETL is one of the most common and tedious procedures for moving and processing data from one database to another. With the help of this book, you will be able to speed up the process by designing effective ETL solutions using the Azure services available for handling and transforming any data to suit your requirements. With this cookbook, you’ll become well versed in all the features of SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) to perform data migration and ETL tasks that integrate with Azure. You’ll learn how to transform data in Azure and understand how legacy systems perform ETL on-premises using SSIS. Later chapters will get you up to speed with connecting and retrieving data from SQL Server 2019 Big Data Clusters, and even show you how to extend and customize the SSIS toolbox using custom-developed tasks and transforms. This ETL book also contains practical recipes for moving and transforming data with Azure services, such as Data Factory and Azure Databricks, and lets you explore various options for migrating SSIS packages to Azure. Toward the end, you’ll find out how to profile data in the cloud and automate service creation with Business Intelligence Markup Language (BIML). By the end of this book, you’ll have developed the skills you need to create and automate ETL solutions on-premises as well as in Azure.

Chapter 10: Manage SSIS and Azure Data Factory with Biml

Many developers will agree, I think, that one of the hardest things to bear at work is not solving complex problems or rushing to meet a deadline, but the boredom. The boredom of uninspiring tasks, the lack of an intellectual challenge, and repeating the same code, the same logic, and the same field names over and over. Let's take developing SSIS packages as an example: many SSIS development tasks may seem repetitive and boring because the same patterns apply to multiple packages, and we just change table names and the set of columns from package to package.

This is why I am thrilled to introduce Biml in this book! Biml stands for Business Intelligence Markup Language, and it does what I've always wished for – it generates SSIS packages based on the pattern that you design.

What's more, Biml can generate anything based on a given pattern: T-SQL, text, JSON, tabular models, Azure Data Factory, PowerShell...
