1. Define clear domains : Each lakehouse should own specific data 2. Minimize cross domain joins : Materialize frequently joined data 3. Implement…
Traditional ETL moves data physically: Virtualization queries in place: Shortcuts create virtual pointers to external data: 1. Use for read heavy workloads…
Mirroring creates a continuously synchronized copy of your operational database in OneLake as Delta Lake tables: As of GA: Azure SQL Database : Full support…
Accessing external data is essential for hybrid and multi-cloud scenarios. Today I'm exploring external data access patterns in Microsoft Fabric.
Data sharing enables collaboration while maintaining security. Today I'm exploring data sharing patterns in Microsoft Fabric.
OneLake is central to Fabric's promise. My teams reorganised storage layouts and saw query performance improvements — these patterns capture what worked and…
OneLake Explorer is a Windows desktop application that lets you browse the contents of your organisation's OneLake the same way you'd navigate files in…
Of everything announced at Build 2023, OneLake shortcuts might be the feature I find most architecturally elegant. A shortcut is not a copy, not a linked…
All in ONE cohesive experience with ONE security model and ONE business model. At the heart of Fabric is OneLake - think of it as "OneDrive for data." It's…
OneLake is a single, unified, logical data lake for your entire organization. Think of it as "OneDrive for data" - automatically provisioned when you enable…
