Azure Data Factory

Azure Data Factory (ADF) operates on a pay-as-you-go pricing model, ensuring cost efficiency by charging users only for the services they utilize. The pricing is based on several factors, including pipeline orchestration and execution, data flow execution, and the number of Data Factory operations, such as creating and monitoring pipelines. Additionally, the integration runtime, which provides the compute resources for executing activities, is billed per hour of usage. This flexible pricing structure allows businesses to scale their data integration efforts without incurring unnecessary costs.
