Merge Multiple JSON files via Synapse / Data Factory Pipelines

Problem Statement

In today’s world, when many log files or data from Paginated APIs are generated as individual files, it becomes a challenge to process them separately. Would it not be great if there was a way to consume and process a final single file instead of multiple individual files? JSON, being a widely used technology in software development, let’s take JSON files as an example in our use case.

Prerequisites

  1. Azure Data Factory / Synapse
  2. Azure Blob Storage

Solution

In this solution, we will merge three JSON files stored in Azure Blob storage.
