Design Question

What are the best practices for handling large file transfers in Azure Data Factory, and how can I optimize performance for big data workflows?

If you are referring to Fabric Data Factory:

Try using Data Pipeline Copy Activity, or Dataflow Gen2 Fast Copy.

(If you are referring to Azure Data Factory: that's another forum.)

You could potentially look into Notebooks as well.

What kind of data source are you going to read from?
