Azure SQL Synapse Analytics (previously called Data Warehouse) is a cloud-based Platform-as-a-Service
(PaaS) offering from Microsoft. It is a large-scale, distributed, MPP (massively parallel processing) relational
database technology in the same class of competitors as Amazon Redshift or Snowflake. Azure SQL Synapse
Analytics is an important component of the Modern Data Warehouse multi-platform architecture. Because
Azure SQL Synapse Analytics is an MPP system with a shared-nothing architecture across distributions, it is
meant for large-scale analytical workloads which can take advantage of parallelism.
