From Manual Backfills to Autonomous Pipelines: Building an LLM-Powered Backfill Agent on Azure

Very cool approach to using MCP + Azure AI Foundry to do autonomous backfill orchestration.

Best thing about the approach is how it leverages the metadata, fault diagnosis, and planning, rather than taking the LLMs and using them like a chat bot.

Use of AI agents for intelligent recovery flows would drastically lower the operational burden on teams in Synapse & ADX at scale.

Bringing us closer to Data Engineering self-healing pipelines where the system detects faults, analyzes reasoning and performs actions to correct them.

Nice real-world use case of AI adoption in an enterprise-grade environment.
