Session Abstract -

As Microsoft Fabric continues to grow as a unified data platform, the need for automation in managing and deploying Fabric environments has never been greater. In this session, I’ll introduce FabricCatalyst, a PowerShell-driven solution that automates and streamlines the creation and deployment of Fabric items by leveraging the Fabric REST API. I'll show you the three deployment approaches enabled by FabricCatalyst: Auto, Custom & Map; throughout the session, I’ll share my personal experience building FabricCatalyst, including Real-world use cases (When and why each deployment method is most useful) and insights into current gaps in the Fabric API and where workarounds were necessary.

By the end of this session, you’ll leave with a broader understanding of the automation possibilities in Microsoft Fabric, practical insights into real-world challenges, and ideas to inspire your own automation journey.
