Fabric Governance - Domains, Workspaces & Lineage
Details
🎯 The Problem: Your Fabric POC was a success. Now 15 teams want in. Suddenly you have 47 workspaces, no naming convention, random data everywhere, and the CFO asking why the capacity bill tripled.
💡 This Evening: We'll show you governance patterns that ENABLE teams (not block them). Domains, Workspaces, Capacities, Lineage - the structure that scales.
⏱️ Save yourself: The governance mess that makes everyone hate the data platform. Get it right from the start.
What you'll learn:
📁 Workspace Design Patterns - Dev/Test/Prod, medallion, team-based structures, and WHY workspace design impacts everything (permissions, deployments, costs)
🏛️ Domains - Data Mesh principles in Fabric, and WHY domains enable decentralized ownership (Finance owns Finance data, not IT)
⚡ Capacity Management - CU consumption, smoothing, bursting, and WHY capacity planning prevents budget surprises (smoothing saves money!)
🔍 Data Lineage - Impact analysis and dependency tracking, and WHY lineage is non-negotiable for compliance (GDPR, SOX)
Governance Hierarchy: Tenant → Domain (Sales, Finance, HR) → Workspace (Dev, Test, Prod) → Items (Lakehouse, Reports) → Data (Tables, Files)
Who should attend: Fabric administrators, Enterprise architects, Compliance and security teams
