Hello,

I’m currently working on setting up a CI/CD system for Azure Synapse Analytics. I have a working deployment process, but it’s based on the classic release pipelines in Azure DevOps. While this method is documented in Microsoft’s official guidance (see this article), the classic release feature is being deprecated.

I’d like to know:

Is there an official or recommended way to build a deployment pipeline for Synapse in Azure DevOps that does not rely on the classic release pipelines?

Screenshot 2025-06-23 at 10.37.39 AM In particular, I need the deployment process to support parameter overrides, similar to what is supported in the release pipelines.

Any guidance, best practices, or examples of how to achieve this using YAML pipelines or other modern approaches would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
