SQL Day 2024 - MICROSOFT FABRIC CICD. WHAT IS THERE AND WHAT IS COMING - G. Münster, M. Thierbach

Microsoft Fabric is the new kid in town for the full Data & Analytics stack in Azure, all in one Software as a Service offering. Combining workloads for Data Integration, Data Engineering, Data Science, Analytics and Reporting is meant to streamline and simplify managing the implementation and maintenance of your Data & Analytics projects. But to achieve this goal, support for Dev and Data Ops is absolutely necessary. This was one of the gaps often addressed also for existing offerings like Power BI and Synapse, where support was either not there at all or insufficient. This demo-rich session will deliver an overview of the features Microsoft Fabric offers to support a clean and efficient CI/CD process. Which workloads and items are supported, how can best practices be achieved and which gaps can still be perceived. We'd love to experience an interactive session by not only sharing our point of view, but by discussing advantages and disadvantages with you and learning about your feedback and perception.
