Because Azure Synapse data flows now provides better performance with General Purpose data flows, **we’ll retire Compute Optimized data flows on** **31 August 2024\. Please transition to using General Purpose data flows by that date**. We encourage you to make the switch early to gain the performance benefits of General Purpose data flows. In addition to current features you already use, here’s a quick comparison between Compute Optimized data flows and General Purpose data flows: | Compute Optimized data flows | General Purpose data flows | | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------- | | Low memory/core ratio | Improved memory/core ratio | | Suboptimal for ETL performance | Optimized for data flow pipeline executions | | Generally used for testing | Best option for most production workloads | From now through 31 August 2024, you can continue to use your existing Compute Optimized data flows. After 31 August 2024, existing workflows will not be supported. **Required action** To avoid service disruption, please remove your existing Compute Optimized data flows before 31 August 2024\.
