ABSTRACT

This paper explores the principles and practices of data orchestration in the context of modern enterprise needs, emphasizing scalability, automation, and reliability. It provides a detailed overview of Azure Data Factory (ADF), Microsoft’s cloud-native orchestration tool, covering its architecture, key components, and operational workflows. Through a case study involving an e-commerce platform processing 50 GB of data daily, the study demonstrates ADF’s effectiveness in reducing execution time, minimizing errors, and enhancing developer productivity. Quantitative analysis highlights how ADF’s serverless design, automation features, and parallel processing lower total cost of ownership (TCO). By integrating theoretical concepts with practical evaluation, this study offers a comprehensive assessment of ADF’s role in enterprise-grade data orchestration.
