Azure & Fabric cheat sheet

ADLS, Data Factory, Databricks, and where Fabric changes the default path.

Cloud PlatformsIntermediate3 sections

Landing and lake

abfss://container@account.dfs.core.windows.net/bronze/: ADLS Gen2 path used by Databricks, Synapse, and Fabric.
OneLake / lakehouse item: Fabric's single lake. Shortcuts can point at existing ADLS.

Ingest

Azure Data Factory copy + mapping data flows: Still the workhorse for SaaS and DB extracts.
Fabric Dataflow Gen2 / pipelines: Use when the workspace already lives in Fabric.

Compute

Azure Databricks (Spark + Delta): Best for heavy engineering and ML on Azure.
Fabric warehouse / SQL endpoint: T-SQL on the lakehouse for BI-shaped work.
Synapse dedicated pools: Legacy for many new projects — evaluate Fabric first.

From DataLane — tutorials at/blog, practice SQL live in theplayground.
