'Run an Azure Data Factory Pipeline Continuously

I have a requirement to incrementally copy data from one SQL table to another SQL table. The watermark or key column is an Identity column. My boss wants me to restart the load as soon as it's done...and as you know, the completion time may vary. In Azure Data Factory, the trigger options are Scheduled, Tumbling Window and Custom Event. Does anyone know which option would allow me to achieve this continuous running of the pipeline and how to configure it?



Solution 1:[1]

Pipeline in ADF are batch-based. You can set "micro batches" of 1 min with schedule trigger or 5 mins with tumbling window.

Solution 2:[2]

ADF will run in a batch. If you want to continuously load the data then you can go for Stream Analytics / Event Hub which would load real-time data
