Fixed-Scope Azure Ingestion Pipeline

DMH Consulting delivers a single, fixed-scope ingestion pipeline for teams using Azure - built in Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, or Azure Data Factory, depending on your existing stack.

Pricing typically ranges from £750–£1,200, depending on source and tool complexity. All work is fixed-scope, fully documented, and delivered within a short window.

What’s Included

  • Integration of one clearly defined data source (API, database, or files)
  • Ingestion pipeline implemented using best practices in your chosen tool - Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, or ADF
  • Optional processing and transformation logic
  • Data delivered into your Azure destination
  • Configured scheduled or on-demand job
  • Clean handover documentation and guidance

What’s Not Included

  • Ongoing support or retainers
  • Performance or cost optimisation guarantees
  • Architecture redesign

Which Tool?

The right tool depends on your current setup:

  • Azure Databricks - best for teams already using Spark-based processing or Delta Lake
  • Microsoft Fabric - well suited for teams in the Microsoft ecosystem looking for an integrated analytics platform
  • Azure Data Factory - a strong fit for orchestration-heavy pipelines and teams preferring a low-code approach

FAQ

Do I need Databricks or Fabric already?

Yes - this service assumes you already have Azure available, with Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, or ADF in place. This can be clarified on the review call.

What if my source is complex?

Complex sources are scoped and priced upfront. If it falls outside the fixed-scope model, you’ll know before any work begins.

Can you help us choose between Databricks and Fabric?

Yes - this can be addressed in the 90-minute review session. Your current setup can be assessed, and I will recommend the right approach before any development begins.
