By Victor Hernández

A hands-on guide to working on use cases helping you ingest, analyze, and serve insightful data from IoT as well as telemetry data sources using Azure Synapse Data Explorer

Free PDF included with this book

Key Features:

Augment advanced analytics projects with your IoT and application dataExpand your existing Azure Synapse environments with unstructured dataBuild industry-level projects on integration, experimentation, and dashboarding with Azure Synapse

Book Description:

Large volumes of data are generated daily from applications, websites, IoT devices, and other free-text, semi-structured data sources. Azure Synapse Data Explorer helps you collect, store, and analyze such data, and work with other analytical engines, such as Apache Spark, to develop advanced data science projects and maximize the value you extract from data.

This book offers a comprehensive view of Azure Synapse Data Explorer, exploring not only the core scenarios of Data Explorer but also how it integrates within Azure Synapse. From data ingestion to data visualization and advanced analytics, you'll learn to take an end-to-end approach to maximize the value of unstructured data and drive powerful insights using data science capabilities. With real-world usage scenarios, you'll discover how to identify key projects where Azure Synapse Data Explorer can help you achieve your business goals. Throughout the chapters, you'll also find out how to manage big data as part of a software as a service (SaaS) platform, as well as tune, secure, and serve data to end users.

By the end of this book, you'll have mastered the big data life cycle and you'll be able to implement advanced analytical scenarios from raw telemetry and log data.

What You Will Learn:
