It was great being at dataMinds Saturday 2024 this past weekend. A great crowd of data enthusiasts was present to learn from a bunch of local speakers (both old and new :)). I was some interesting sessions about Fabric, Purview, finding and fixing issues in a data lake with KQL, and Benni‘s great session on […]

Today I was having a nice discussion with some colleagues about Fabric and pricing/licensing came up. I mentioned an F2 is only around €250 a month, but a colleague said “no no, it’s over €300”. A bit confused, I pulled up the sizing table of my Fabric capacity in Azure, which looks like this: Similarly, […]

Azure Function App doesn’t retrieve most recent secret value from Azure Key Vault
Quite a long title for quite an annoying issue. Let me explain the set-up first: I have pipelines running in Azure Data Factory and I want to send e-mails with customized messages when something goes wrong (this means the standard alerting of ADF doesn’t cut it).

Book Review – Scalable Data Analytics with Azure Data Explorer
I recently finished the book Scalable Data Analytics with Azure Data Explorer (Modern ways to query, analyze, and perform real-time data analysis on large volumes of data), written by Jason Myerscough. I got the ebook for a mere $5 at a Packt sale, but luckily the price is no indication of the quality. In fact, […]
