Synapse Serverless SQL Pool: SQL without database
summary
Serverless SQL pool executes T-SQL directly over Azure Cosmos DB and ADLS Gen2 without ETL, billed only for query execution and provisioning per query. Azure Synapse Link autosyncs Cosmos transactional and analytical stores to enable HTAP. Demos show connecting a Cosmos account and ADLS Gen2 in three clicks, auto-generating SELECT code, creating a logical data warehouse layer of external tables and views, joining Cosmos and ADLS data to compute revenue, and loading refreshable Power BI reports — all working end-to-end with live queries and no infrastructure to manage.
