Where We're Going, We Don't Need Servers

ABSTRACT

Within Azure Synapse Analytics, the serverless SQL pool allows users to query data in a data lake using T-SQL but without spinning up dedicated resources. This lets data analysts, developers, and database administrators spelunk through the data without the need to integrate this data into a more permanent solution. In this talk, we will look at how to use the serverless SQL pool, including how it integrates with existing dedicated SQL pools and Spark pools. Then, we will gain a better understanding of the pricing model for the serverless SQL pool in comparison to dedicated SQL pools. Finally, we will discuss good practices around maximizing value when working with the serverless SQL pool. This includes performance tuning, cost management, and data preparation tips.
