Import-DatabricksFolder - Now With Threading

Hello! One of the big challenges of running a release pipeline is the duration of a release and when is a good time for doing it. OK, that’s two challenges really, but it’s the first point about duration that I want to talk about. For example, in the world of SSDT and publishing changes it can take a very long time indeed if any of the changes result in a diff script that creates a new table and moves the data over, and then dropping the old table and renaming the new table.

Pin The Azure Portal Menu

Hello! Recently the behaviour of the portal menu has changed from being docked to being flyout by default. Given that I have lovely wide screens to work on I’m rarely bothered by losing a bit of space to a docked menu, and so I imagine that a lot of people are in the same position. Fortunately it is possible to set your preferred default mode for the menu by going to the setting in the portal and from the option “Choose your default mode for the portal menu” you can choose “docked”.
