Explain how to use Azure Logic Apps to handle data ingestion from multiple sources and move it to a single destination like a data lake.
To handle data ingestion from multiple sources using Azure Logic Apps, follow these steps:
1. Create a new Logic App in the Azure portal.
2. Add triggers for each data source (e.g., HTTP request, Blob storage, or Event Hubs) to initiate the workflow when new data arrives.
3. Use actions like “Parse JSON” or “XML” to extract and transform incoming data into a standardized format.
4. Apply conditional logic, if necessary, to filter or process data based on specific criteria.
5. Utilize connectors such as “Azure Data Lake Storage” or “Azure Blob Storage” to store the transformed data in the desired destination.
6. Set up error handling and monitoring to ensure smooth operation and track any issues.
