The Lakehouse Gamble: Design Patterns & Real-World Pitfalls

You've decided to build a Fabric Lakehouse—now you need to design it correctly.
This session goes beyond Medallion theory to focus on the decisions that drive success:
•Proven architecture patterns (and common failures)
•Choosing between notebooks, pipelines, and warehouses
•Scaling governance without creating chaos
•Avoiding costly design mistakes
•When to use OneLake shortcuts and data mesh
Through real-world examples, you'll learn how to build a scalable Lakehouse, avoid common pitfalls, and know when to follow—or break—the rules.
Whether you're building your first Lakehouse or refining your fifth, you'll leave with practical design strategies that work.
