In this article, I am going to explain in detail how to document SSIS packages using Sequence Diagrams and the importance of these diagrams in the field of software engineering, no matter which programming language are you using. In my previous article, I have talked about the various UML Diagrams that are being used to document various software engineering processes. Also, I have talked about modular ETL architecture and how to create such a modular package in SSIS. Sequence diagrams are also a part of the broader UML Diagrams which define the interaction between the various components in the system in a chronological manner.

In this article, I am going to demonstrate about implementing the Modular ETL in SSIS practically. In my previous article on Designing a Modular ETL Architecture, I have explained in theory what a modular ETL solution is and how to design one. We have also understood the concepts behind a modular ETL solution and the benefits of it in the world of data warehousing. We have also related the concept of microservices architecture in software development to that of the modular ETL solution.

Azure SQL Database—a cloud-based service model provides a platform to back up the data and ensure to keep the business up-and-running even after the disaster. The data is vital and backup of the data revolves around the process of backup, restoration, recovery, Business-Continuity-Plans (BCP), and disaster recovery (DR). In this article, we will learn:

In this article, I am going to demonstrate in detail the Modular ETL Architecture. ETL is a vast concept which explains the methodology of moving data across various sources to destinations while performing some sort of transformations within it. This is an advanced article that considers that the user has a substantial amount of understanding about how ETL is implemented using different tools like SSIS and the underlying working principle along with how to deploy multiple packages using SSIS. It is extremely important to implement a well-designed ETL architecture for your organization’s workload, otherwise, it might lead to performance degradations along with other challenges. To keep things simple, I will just explain the Modular ETL Architecture in this article which will be followed by a detailed hands-on tutorial in the next article – “Implementing Modular Architecture in ETL using SSIS”.

SQL Server creates an optimized execution plan based on the available inputs such as statistics, indexes. By default, it chooses a cost-optimized execution plan and executes the query. Sometimes, we use SQL queries table hints to override the default mechanism. Developers popularly use WITH (NOLOCK) query hint in a Select statement to avoid blocking issues.

We can rely on Azure SQL to build reliable, high-quality relational database solutions. In the cloud, Google offers BigQuery as a big data product that has large data capacities, and a standard SQL syntax. Although it can handle data manipulation, it works better as a data warehouse product because of certain product limitations. If we can integrate these products, they become even more useful. This two-part article will show how to link these products together. Part one here will show how to build a BigQuery resource, and then build a Google OAuth refresh token, or security key. Part two will show how to set up an Azure SQL data resource, and build, configure, and test the Azure Data Factory that will link those resources.
