Azure Blob Storage Connector - Does it work with ADLS Gen2?

0
Dear Mendix Community,    We are setting up a Data Lake to offload data from Mendix in an Azure Data Lake, but we are doubting between a standard Blob storage and the ADLS Gen 2 storage.   Anyone has experience with the Mendix Azure Blob Storage connector Mendix Marketplace - Azure Blob Storage Connector working with Azure ADLS Gen2 ?   Thanks!   Wim Liekens

Hi Wim Liekens

The Mendix Azure Blob Storage Connector works with ADLS Gen2, because ADLS Gen2 is built on top of Blob storage APIs. As long as you configure the container and account correctly, the connector can read/write objects in ADLS Gen2 just like standard Blob storage.[DOCUMENT]

 

Note:If your goal is simply to offload Mendix data into a Data Lake, go with ADLS Gen2. You’ll get the same connector compatibility as Blob storage, plus future‑proofing for big data scenarios (integration with Synapse, Databricks, etc.).
