Session Details:
The world is awash with data and it is up to data professionals to make sense of it all. Just a few weeks ago Microsoft announced the next generation of analytics at Build: Microsoft Fabric!

Fabric is a complete end-to-end analytics platform bringing together Azure Data Factory, Azure Synapse, and Power BI in a single location and more deeply integrated than ever. It’s built on a SaaS platform which helps deliver innovation more quickly and allowing users to get up and running in seconds. At the core Fabric provides a lake-centric and open data hub using the popular Delta format with built-in security, governance, and compliance throughout. At the edge, Fabric delivers flexibility for data scientists, data warehouse developers, and Power BI users to build and analyze using their unique skill sets.

One of the key pillars of Microsoft Fabric is that it’s lake centric and open. At the core of this pillar there’s OneLake - a single, unified storage system for all your data. Come to this session to learn how different teams working with Fabric can easily explore and discover data, re-use existing data products and work in a Data Mesh operating model without the need to maintain separate data lakes and keeping many copies of the same data.
