Enabling Azure Synapse Link and connecting Azure Cosmos DB to Azure Synapse
In this recipe, we will learn how to enable Synapse Link and connect Azure Cosmos DB to Azure Synapse. For large-scale analytics that provide high-scale performance without impacting on operational load, we recommend enabling Synapse Link. This helps to achieve HTAP capability for the Cosmos DB container.
