Create dependent pipelines in your Azure Data Factory Aug 02, 2019

Show notes

Data integration is complex and has many moving parts that spans across hybrid data environments. Typically, data integration projects have dependencies upstream and downstream making dependencies an important aspect to consider in any job scheduling.Gaurav Malhotra joins Scott Hanselman to show how you can create dependent pipelines in Azure Data Factory by creating dependencies between tumbling window triggers in your pipelines. Using these dependencies assures you that the trigger is only executed after the successful execution of the dependent trigger in your data factory.Create a tumbling window trigger dependency docsAzure Data Factory overviewAzure Data Factory pricing(blog post mentioned at [07:16] not published yet)Create a free account (Azure)

Azure API for FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) Jul 26, 2019

Show notes

Michael Hansen joins Scott Hanselman to explain what FHIR is and how to get started with FHIR on Azure. Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (or, FHIR) is a new standard for representing and exchanging healthcare data. Developed by the HL7 community to address problems with interoperability, pieces of healthcare data are represented as resources in FHIR (i.e, a patient is a resource, observation is a resource, etc.). Resources are healthcare data objects with properties (e.g., a patient has a name) and relationships. The FHIR specification also describes how to exchange these objects using a REST API. A FHIR server is a REST API that enables you to search, retrieve, modify, and delete healthcare data objects. Microsoft developed a first-party FHIR server, which is available as an open source project on GitHub and as a managed service, Azure API for FHIR.Jump To:[04:30] Demo Start Azure API for FHIRAzure API for FHIR Preview docsmicrosoft/fhir-server (GitHub)microsoft/fhir-server-samples (GitHub)HL7 FHIR standards frameworkCreate a free account (Azure)
