You can find the slides for my session at Future Data Driven summit at GitHub. It was really nice presenting (virtually). If you have any questions, let me know!
Raiders of the Lost ADX – dataminds connect 2023
I’m very excited for this year’s edition of dataminds connect. It’s the first time I’m going to co-present a live session. My fellow explorer is the amazing bearded Johan Ludvig Brattås, and we’re going to talk about a lesser known data service: Azure Data Explorer. Normally I’d urge you to check out the agenda for […]
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, […]

Why Managed Identities are Awesome
For the first workdays of this new year, I had the pleasurable task of resetting a bunch of passwords. The passwords belong to Azure AD users, service principals, SQL Server users etc. and all of these are tied into the ETL process of a data warehouse. Some are used to connect to source data, others […]
Allow a user to only trigger pipelines in Azure Data Factory
Typically you have a bunch of pipelines that are started by one or more triggers. Sometimes, a pipeline needs to be manually triggered. For example, when the finance department is closing the fiscal year, they probably want to run the ETL pipeline a couple of times on-demand, to make sure their latest changes are reflected […]
Logic App errors out when using variables in a SharePoint Action
I have a Logic App that reads out a SharePoint library and stores all the documents found into Azure Blob Storage (ADF only supports Lists). I was trying to make this Logic App “generic”, meaning I could change the source folder and the destination container by using variables. That way, I have one single Logic […]
