Summary
In this chapter, we learned how to perform real-time analytics using Azure Synapse. We learned how to bring data to Azure Synapse by using Azure Stream Analytics and Azure Databricks. We also learned how to create a view in a serverless SQL pool and how to use this view to connect to Power BI Desktop for data visualizations. We used a sample application in this chapter to stream data to an Azure Cosmos DB account by using a sample JSON file. You can download and use this application if you want to perform a proof of concept on this particular topic yourself.
In the next chapter, we are going to learn how to use Azure Machine Learning with Azure Synapse. It is important to have prior knowledge of Azure Machine Learning before plunging to the next chapter. You will also learn how to use machine learning models with Azure Synapse SQL and Spark pools.
