Is Azure Data Factory going to dissapear?

Hello experts,

 

What is the future of Azure's Data Factory? is it going to continue to get support or is it going to fully migrate into Fabric's environment?

    Azure Data Factory is sold and supported. New fetaures like mirroring, copy job etc. are moving to Fabric Data Factory. All preview features in Azure Data Factory  will not GA , rather some will be GAed in Fabric only. Airflow is an example. There is no migration  deadline either for Azure Data Factory  to Fabric. Please stay tuned for migration steps and tipc/tricks for Fabric migration  if you are interested.

      Thanks for answering, but your reply does sound like Azure Data Factory is not going to last long? Should we consider the migration already?! Didn't even think of the "deadline" it sounds quite promising . just a matter of time ? like 2-3 years? if we are deploying something was previously consider using ADF, shall we avoid ADF and use Fabric instead, but it is more expensive tho and hard to calculate costs...
