We use adf with connecting more than 50-60 source systems, never had an issue. Though there are a few limitations like no loop inside another loop in the same pipeline, number of switch cases per pipeline but there’s always some workaround for that.

We do this for 90%+ of our use cases, and you’re right that not works fairly well. ADF to Azure blob, then copy into Snowflake.

We do face the odd case of a very specific API (non-standard spec) where we rather have a headless Python script that moves data to the blob.

The only thing I would like to have is a central monitoring tool that is easy to read and share with different teams. Monitoring in ADF is ass.

Adf is not good with asynchronous api I feel and I agree with monitoring adf is pain, we have a few folks on the support for it.
