The Azure to Fabric Advantage
What Enterprises Gain by Moving Off ADF and Synapse
Unified Integration, Analytics and AI
- Replace siloed ADF pipelines and Synapse workloads with one platform
- Eliminate tool sprawl with OneLake as the shared storage layer
- Share data across teams without duplication or complex movement jobs
Cloud-Native, Zero Infrastructure Overhead
- Run Spark-native compute for faster processing across batch and streaming
- Build real-time Fabric pipelines without separate streaming infrastructure
- Reduce end-to-end latency across your full data integration stack
Built-In AI, Governance and Power BI
- Apply ML models directly on OneLake data without moving it externally
- Integrate Power BI natively for instant dashboards post-migration
- Use Microsoft Purview for centralized governance across all Fabric workloads
Lower Total Cost of Ownership
- Pay for compute and storage consumed, not per-activity or per-processor
- Reduce complexity by replacing separate ADF and Synapse licenses
- Apply MACC credits toward your azure data factory to fabric migration costs
The Migration Process
How Our ADF to Fabric Migration Process Works
Pipeline Architecture Assessment and Discovery
FLIP connects to your ADF environment or Synapse workspace, catalogues all pipelines, linked services, and datasets, and packages selected assets with full dependencies for conversion.
Automated Azure Data Factory to Fabric Pipeline Conversion
FLIP ingests exported assets, analyzes transformation logic, and converts each ADF or Synapse pipeline into a Fabric-native data flow, preserving business rules, source-target connections, and scheduling automatically.
Validation Against Original ADF and Synapse Pipelines
Converted Fabric pipelines are validated against the original ADF configurations and Synapse workloads, confirming functional parity across transformation logic, trigger behavior, and data output before deployment.
Deployment, Optimization and Fabric Readiness
FLIP flags conversion edge cases, decommissions redundant pipelines, and connects your Fabric environment to OneLake, Microsoft Purview governance, and Power BI reporting from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
01How long does an Azure Data Factory to Microsoft Fabric migration take?
02What do Azure Data Factory to Fabric migration services include?
Kanerika’s ADF to Fabric migration services cover four stages: pipeline discovery, automated conversion with FLIP, validation against original ADF configurations, and deployment with post-migration optimization. FLIP handles the first two automatically for most pipeline types. Your team reviews converted flows, validates against source outputs, and signs off before any ADF pipeline is decommissioned. Manual work is limited to edge cases FLIP flags during discovery.
03How does Azure Synapse to Fabric migration work?
Azure Synapse to Fabric migration moves Synapse Pipelines to Fabric Data Pipelines, Synapse Spark to Fabric Spark, and Synapse SQL Pools to Fabric Warehouse or Lakehouse depending on workload type. FLIP handles Synapse Pipeline conversion using the same four-step process as ADF: export, convert, validate, deploy. Kanerika assesses your Synapse workspace separately from ADF and recommends the right Fabric architecture for each workload before migration begins.
04Can we run ADF and Microsoft Fabric in parallel during migration?
Yes, and Kanerika recommends it. All Azure Data Factory to Fabric migrations run in parallel with the existing ADF environment. Fabric pipelines are built and validated while ADF continues running production workloads. Different business units or pipeline groups can move at different speeds. ADF is decommissioned only after your team formally signs off on the Fabric environment. There is no forced cutover, and you control the pace throughout.
05What does ADF to Fabric migration consulting involve?
ADF to Fabric migration consulting with Kanerika covers three phases: assessment, execution, and enablement. Assessment maps your full ADF pipeline inventory, identifies complexity tiers, and produces a migration plan with effort estimates. Execution uses FLIP to automate conversion, with Kanerika engineers handling edge cases and validation. Enablement covers governance setup with Microsoft Purview, Power BI integration, and team training. Kanerika holds Microsoft’s Data Warehouse Migration to Azure Specialization.
06Can Kanerika migrate Azure cloud service workloads to Microsoft Fabric alongside ADF pipelines?
Yes. For organizations moving Azure cloud service workloads to Microsoft Fabric, Kanerika designs a unified migration path covering ADF pipelines, Azure Blob and Data Lake integrations, and Synapse workloads together. FLIP handles pipeline conversion while Kanerika architects the broader Fabric environment, including OneLake configuration, workspace structure, and capacity planning. This avoids piecemeal migration and ensures your Fabric environment is production-ready from the first workload cutover.
07Is FLIP listed on the Azure Marketplace?
Yes. Kanerika’s FLIP Migration Accelerator is listed on the Azure Marketplace and can be purchased using Azure Committed Spend (MACC). If your organization has committed Azure spend, you can apply it toward the migration, reducing or eliminating out-of-pocket tooling costs. Kanerika holds Microsoft’s Data Warehouse Migration to Azure Specialization and is a certified Microsoft Solutions Partner for Data and AI. FLIP has passed Microsoft’s technical and compliance requirements.
08Why should enterprises migrate from Azure Data Factory to Microsoft Fabric?
ADF and Synapse require managing separate services for data integration, warehousing, and analytics. Microsoft Fabric unifies all of these on one platform with OneLake as shared storage, eliminating duplicate licensing and complex cross-service integrations. Microsoft is actively prioritizing Fabric investment while ADF moves toward maintenance mode. Kanerika’s FLIP accelerator automates the transition, converting complex pipelines in days rather than months, with 83% less effort than a manual rebuild.
09What happens to existing ADF pipelines during migration to Fabric?
FLIP analyzes each ADF pipeline and converts it into an equivalent Fabric-native data flow. ADF linked services become Fabric connections, transformation logic maps to Fabric data flow components, and trigger configurations translate to Fabric pipeline triggers. Business logic, parameters, and scheduling are preserved throughout. Post-migration, each pipeline is validated for functional parity before ADF workflows are retired. FLIP flags edge cases that require manual review so your team knows exactly what needs attention.
10How much does ADF to Fabric migration cost?
ADF to Fabric migration cost varies based on pipeline volume, complexity, and approach. Automated migration with FLIP typically reduces total effort by 70 to 83% compared to manual rebuilding, translating to significant labor savings. On average, organizations save 2,485 hours per engagement. Microsoft Fabric uses capacity-based pricing versus ADF’s activity-run billing, lowering ongoing costs post-migration. FLIP is available on Azure Marketplace and eligible for MACC credits, which can offset upfront migration costs for Azure-committed customers.
