Double Session - Deep drive into Delta & Parquet AND OneLake
Details
For July we have 2 sessions so we're looking forward to welcoming user group regular Steve Cambell, and from the Microsoft product group in Seattle - Tom Peplow.
Deep Dive into Delta and Parquet (Steve Cambell)
Microsoft Fabric is a lake-centric data analytics platform, focused around OneLake. A core feature of Fabric is that all data items, like data warehouses and lakehouses, store their data automatically in OneLake in Delta format.
For all users deploying Fabric content, it is important to understand this underlying technology that ties all services together. This session takes a deep dive into the core storage technologies: OneLake, Delta, and Parquet. It will explain how Delta enhances traditional columnar storage with features such as transaction support, schema evolution, and performance optimisation. We’ll look at how it makes debugging and time-travel possible.
Key Takeaways:
- Understand what OneLake is and how it underpins Microsoft Fabric.
- Learn how Delta tables build on Parquet, their unique capabilities, and why they are vital for modern data solutions.
- Discover Delta’s key features, such as ACID compliance, data versioning, and performance enhancements.
- Gain a foundational understanding to confidently deploy Microsoft Fabric and its storage technologies.
