For this months T-SQL Tuesday contribution I cover why I believe in the premise of Microsoft Fabric and why it made me go “wow” when it was introduced.
Before I go any further, I must point out that I am hosting this months T-SQL Tuesday, which is the first ever T-SQL Tuesday and Festive Tech Calendar crossover.
My invite is to write about a Microsoft Data Platform announcement that you considered to be as amazing as a present. In other words, something which made you go “wow”.
You can read the original invitation by clicking on this link for the T-SQL Tuesday 181 invitation. Alternatively, you can click on the image below.
In addition, I want to highlight the fact that over the years the Festive Tech Calendar has selected a charity that they encourage everybody to donate to.
This year, the selected charity is Beatson Cancer Charity. You can donate through the JustGiving page created by the Festive Tech Calendar team.
The premise of Microsoft Fabric
I do believe in the premise of Microsoft Fabric. When I was first introduced to Microsoft Fabric it certainly made me go “wow” and I saw a lot of potential with the product. Because of all the things you can do within one environment.
As you can see in the below diagram. Which represents the Microsoft Fabric architecture and the current workloads that are available. Including the new Databases workload that includes SQL databases in Fabric.
Even more so as the landscape of the CI/CD opportunities started to expand. Since I am a big advocate of CI/CD possibilities within the Microsoft Intelligent Data Platform. Which shows in my numerous CI/CD posts and the GitHub repositories that I share.
Just like other products over the years there is a demand for updates within Microsoft Fabric. Which is to be expected with so many people keen to implement certain aspects of the product in certain environments.
However, Microsoft are delivering a lot of updates every month. Plus, they recently updated the release plan so everybody has some visibility of what they are looking to deliver in the short-term.
With that being said, I still believe in the premise of Microsoft Fabric. Even more so since it has kept me busy in a few different areas this year. Including creating custom training material for certifications, CI/CD and sustainability.
Final words
I hope my T-SQL Tuesday contribution this month provides an insight into why I believe in the premise of Microsoft Fabric and why I considered it to be as good as a present. Because it is something that I am passionate about.
Of course, if you have any questions or comments about this post feel free to reach out to me.
For those of you who celebrate it like I do, have a vantastic Christmas.
