Migrating ~100 SSIS Packages to Azure: Acceleration Strategies & ADF vs. Fabric Guidance
Hi everyone, Our team is currently planning to migrate approximately 100 SSIS packages (including several large and highly complex workflows) to Azure. We are evaluating two primary paths: a lift-and-shift using Azure Data Factory (ADF) SSIS Integration Runtime (SSIS-IR) vs. a full rewrite. Current Architecture / Tech Stack: Azure, VMs, Azure SQL Managed Instance (SQL MI) We would appreciate insights on the following: Accelerated Rewrite Options: If we decide to rewrite, are there automation tools, frameworks, or best practices to expedite the transition rather than manually rebuilding every activity in ADF? ADF vs. Microsoft Fabric: Given Microsoft’s strategic push toward Fabric, is ADF still the ideal migration target, or should we consider targeting Fabric Data Pipelines directly? Thank you in advance for any inputs, advice, or shared experiences!
