Belfast Microsoft Fabric & Power BI Meetup #3

🚀 Meetup #3 is here! 🚀

Happy New Year everyone! Hope you all have a great holiday break and survived a very wet and grey January!!

We’re very excited for our third meetup where we will be discussing:

How to Build a Data Platform – Using a Metadata-Driven Framework
Whether you're just starting out in data or deep in the architectural weeds — this session is for everyone involved in delivering modern data solutions: analysts, engineers, architects, managers or those just starting out alike.
We’ll be diving into how to build a scalable, reusable, and standardised metadata-driven data platform when building on Microsoft Fabric or Databricks:

🔧 What we’ll cover:

Designing a Control Database to store configuration and interface metadata
Creating Generic Data Factory Pipelines that adapt to your config
SAP Success Factors
Relational Databases: SQL, Oracle, DB2 etc
Writing Reusable Spark Functions to enforce standard patterns across your architecture:
UpsertDeltaLake
TruncateReload
SCD2 / SCD6 logic

This is the kind of session that’ll give you real, production-grade tools you can take back to your team - whether you’re hands-on or leading from the front.
