Data pipeline editor

What this editor does

A Data pipeline is visual ETL/ELT orchestration — Copy, Lookup, ForEach, Notebook, Stored procedure, Web and more. Azure-native by default: authored on the standalone Azure Data Factory runtime (or a Synapse workspace), with Microsoft Fabric available as an opt-in runtime. Shares run history with notebooks and dataflows.

Getting started

  1. Add a Copy activity — Use Copy Data for source-to-sink ingestion across the supported connector set.
  2. Call a Notebook — Add a Notebook activity to run PySpark transformations inline in the orchestration.
  3. Wire dependencies — Connect activities with success/failure conditions on the designer canvas to control flow.
  4. Schedule a trigger — Configure a schedule, tumbling window, or event-based trigger to automate runs and review run history.
