In this success story, we helped our client with a DataOps transformation solution. Our DevOps experts transformed the Synapse release pattern of the client into an automated pipeline.
The best part is that we automated the deployment process with streamlined version controlling and other optimal DevOps practices.
Get to know the client & their business challenges!
Our client is a private academia where students can take up the courses through online or hybrid on-campus format. They needed to visualize the real-time course data sets that are leveraged by their students to frequently enhance the learning materials.
Due to frequent upgrades, performance tuning in their Synapse data platform, they had continuous releases on their distinct environments.
The manual deployment of database changes in multiple Synapse environments would be time-consuming and redundant.
They needed to automate the Synapse deployment workflow from the lower environment (Development) to higher environments (Live). In addition to automating the deployment pipeline, they looked for establishing the best DevOps practices.
So, they were in search of DevOps experts to develop an automated deployment pipeline for their Synapse workspace.
The client reached out to the AVASOFT team!

Our solution to the client with the DevOps Transformation service
AVASOFT DevOps experts dived in to analyze the client’s Synapse data platform. Further, we proposed the best practices to deploy the patches in multiple Synapse environments.
- AVASOFT team recommended Azure DevOps for source code version controlling.
- We suggested the feature branching strategy that is uniquely built for their business requirements.
- Our DevOps experts recommended and implemented Azure DevOps as a solution. We built an automated CI/CD pipeline to release their database patches in distinct Synapse environments.
- Our team has crafted the customized pipeline for variabilizing the environment specifications in DataOps using regex.
- In addition to implementing the automated DataOps pipeline for their Synapse environment, we have suggested the best practices. Here’s a glimpse of our best practice implementation.
- Configuring the pre-deployment approval to privileged user groups. This controls the critical bugs in the higher Synapse environment.
- Notifying success & failure of patch deployment to the privileged users.
Business gains for the client
- Our client experienced a 90% reduction in Synapse workspace deployment efforts. They could easily push the database patches to a live environment with pre-deployment approval.
- The development teams could focus on enhancements, patches & upgrades rather than spinning around deployment complexity.
- With our best practice recommendations, they could easily roll back the changes in their database if required. These best practices ensured complete business continuity and data streaming to the client.
- They had no more hassles of manual deployment in multi-stage Synapse environment.
