Azure Synapse Analytics - Polaris Whitepaper Deep-Dive

The team behind the brand new Polaris engine have submitted a white paper to the VLDB conference, an academic conference focusing on data management technology. It's a great insight into how the new Serverless SQL Pools service within Azure Synapse works and what happens after you submit your query.

In this video, Simon walks through the paper, pulling out some of the key concepts and comparing it to what we see regularly in the world of Spark & other big data querying engines.
