Sharks in the Pool - Azure Synapse Analytics Pools by Example

Azure Synapse Analytics has been around for quite a few years by now, but it is still somewhat shrouded in mystery. According to the marketing it is a limitless analytics service with unmatched time to insight.
That means it is the single analytics tool to solve all analytics challenges, then?

Unfortunately, it is not quite that simple. Azure Synapse Analytics is not one single entity, but a collection of tools for solving very different problems. Take the serverless SQL pool, for instance - it can't be that different from the dedicated SQL pool, can it? Sparkling pool? I know what a spork is, but Spark...? Oh, and what is ADX again?

While all seemingly similar, they really could not be more different. This session will walk you through what the different pools are used for, how they differ from each other in terms of both architecture, discuss when you may (or may not), want to use them, as well as give examples of real-world applications of the individual technologies.
