Architecture design

Hi @azure_learner
That's a great question - and not silly at all!

For architecture references, you can check these official resources:

• Azure Architecture Center (https://aka.ms/architecture)
• Azure Data Architecture Guide (https://free.blessedness.top/en-us/azure/architecture/data-guide/)
• Synapse patterns (https://free.blessedness.top/en-us/azure/architecture/solution-ideas/articles/analytics-start-here)

These include many sample diagrams that combine ADF, ADLS, Synapse, and Lakehouse concepts.

Regarding diagramming tools like Draw.io, getting better just takes some practice. Here are a few tips to get started:

• Use Azure icons: You can import the official Azure Icon Set for Draw.io

Start with basic shapes, then add services layer by layer

• Use existing architecture samples as a reference to recreate in your tool - that’s a great way to build muscle memory

If you prefer other tools, you can also try:

• Microsoft Visio with Azure templates
• Lucidchart (cloud-based and Azure-integrated)
• Diagrams.net (Draw.io) with templates and shape libraries

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.
