Gotchas & Pitfalls

Suggested Topics

• ARM template deployment history fills up: Azure keeps only the last 800 deployments per resource group
• Forgetting to delete test resources: Bicep deploys are additive, deleting requires manual cleanup or az group delete
• Hardcoding credentials in Bicep templates: use Key Vault references and secure parameters instead
• Airbyte schema changes: source schema updates can break downstream transformations
• Sync frequency misconfiguration: syncing too often wastes API quota, too rarely delivers stale data
• Ignoring Airbyte sync logs: failed syncs can silently produce incomplete data in the destination
