Microsoft Fabric Meetup | AI-assisted data engineering with Wolfgang Strasser

It is time for yet another meetup!

We are happy to invite you to another chapter in our Fabric journey, this time exploring the realm of agentic development in Microsoft Fabric. For this we are honored to welcome Wolfgang Strasser to the mix!

It is going to get agentic. Stay tuned!

### Agenda

18:00 – Arrive, grab a drink, and find your spot

18:15 - Warm up session
Speaker:
Maria Mohr - Data & AI Engineer @ Obungi GmbH, Niels Siepe - Data Analytics Engineer @ Obungi GmbH

18:30 – AI-assisted data engineering in Microsoft Fabric - From Code Gen to Column-Level Impact Analysis
Data pipelines ship faster than teams can document, test, or trace them. A column rename quietly breaks three dashboards. A schema drift silently poisons a semantic model. Sound familiar? This session puts AI to work on the problems data engineers actually lose sleep over - demonstrated live inside Microsoft Fabric with real Lakehouse pipelines, notebooks, and OneLake artifacts:

• Code generation: Convert requirements into Fabric notebooks and pipeline JSON using natural-language prompts. See what works, what needs guardrails, and where human review is non-negotiable.
• Living documentation: Auto-generate and continuously sync technical documentation from actual pipeline and notebook code - so docs never again drift from reality.
• Proactive data quality: Let AI inspect Delta table schemas and data distributions to propose validation rules, detect anomalies, and generate test cases - catching drift before it hits production.
• Lineage & impact analysis: Answer "What breaks if I change this column?" by tracing column-level lineage across Fabric pipelines, Spark notebooks, OneLake tables, semantic models, and Power BI reports - and visualize the blast radius before the change ships.

What you'll take home:

• A practical toolkit: which AI capabilities (inside and outside Microsoft Fabric) are production-ready today and which ones to watch.
• Repeatable patterns for AI-maintained documentation and automated data-quality checks.
• An honest evaluation framework: where AI accelerates data engineering versus where it introduces new risks (and more work).
• See what was announced at FabCon Barcelona and how these features help us to even use more AI-assistance for our data engineering work.
