Authors: Prashant Atri & Prabhjot Kaur

Welcome to Version 1 of the ultimate Data Factory Pipeline Mind Map!

This one-page view is packed with guidelines to help you navigate Data Factory pipelines on your Data Factory journey to build a successful Data Integration project.

As you navigate through the Mind Map towards the right, you will see many branching paths for you to consider. The very end of each path will lead you to community content, such as YouTube videos, blog posts, or official Microsoft Learn documentation.

This Mind Map is intended to have regular updates and we are eager to hear from you!
