Parallel Processing with For-Each Activity in Fabric - Fabric Data Factory Pipeline

Hi all, I recently faced an issue with parallel processing when using for each loop with set variable activity.

 

The issue was "Set Variable" activity forces you to do processing sequentially, which'll take alot of time when processing mutiple files. 

 

I recently got one solution for fixing this issue. Read more about the solution I found here  - Parallel Processing in Fabric

Now the question is what are the other strategies that one can use for parallel processing in Fabric's Data Factory.
