The team also optimized the ETL processes by executing tasks in parallel, avoiding blocking tasks, and moving execution into stored procedures and database objects.
Furthermore, MKR Networks’s team developed SSIS package, modification to use parallelism, Extended Events, execution plan, system monitor, materialized views, and indices.
