Hybrid Analytics - Fabric + Azure Services
Details
🎯 The Problem: Your company has millions invested in Azure Data Factory, Databricks, and Cosmos DB. Now leadership wants Fabric. Do you throw everything away? Migrate? Run both?
💡 This Evening: We'll show you how Fabric integrates WITH your existing Azure investments - not against them. Hybrid architectures are powerful, and OneLake is the bridge.
⏱️ Save yourself: The pain of "rip and replace." Most Fabric success stories COMBINE services, not replace them.
What you'll learn:
🌊 OneLake Deep Dive - The universal data lake behind Fabric, and WHY OneLake uses ADLS Gen2 protocols (your existing tools still work!)
🏭 Azure Data Factory + Fabric - When to use ADF vs Fabric Pipelines, and WHY ADF still makes sense for complex hybrid scenarios
⚡ Azure Databricks + Fabric - Unity Catalog + OneLake integration, and WHY Databricks users should care about Fabric (best of both worlds)
🌍 Cosmos DB Mirroring - NoSQL data in your analytics platform, and WHY mirroring beats ETL for Cosmos (near real-time, no code)
Integration Pattern: Azure Services (ADF, Databricks, Cosmos DB, ADLS) ↔ OneLake (Shortcuts) ↔ Fabric (Lakehouse, Warehouse, Eventhouse)
Who should attend: Azure architects planning Fabric adoption, Data engineers with existing Azure investments, Teams evaluating Fabric vs Databricks
