What if you had another option? In this talk, Philip will walk you through his journey utilizing Azure Synapse Link to query NoSQL data at the source using SQL: allowing joins, giving the promise of (almost) real-time data, and no longer having to ETL data from one source to another, along with some of the challenges and lessons learned from the "Schemaless Schema". **Bio:** Philip has worked as a Software Developer for the last 9 years in different domains and for the last 5 years has specialized in Cloud, Data, Integration, and Identity.
