What is Microsoft Fabric and what is it capable of?

11:15 - 12:00 Hall C (677) Back to event schedule

Microsoft Fabric puts all of Microsoft's data offerings in a bag and puts a price tag on it. If you ask various data experts: It is a lot of stuff in there. It is a bit of overwhelming. What is Data Factory? Why is there data warehousing as well data lakehousing? What is the difference? What is a data flow? What is a data pipeline? What is a Jupyter notebook? And when to use what? What is the meaning of data lake centered? What about AI functionalities? What is real-time analytics capable of and what on earth is data activator meant to do for us?

I agree: It is a lot! We sometimes find a couple of ways to archive the same goal but let me assure you it comes with a reason: Think big, start small. Let me explain you, how to grow into Microsoft Fabric.
