Microsoft-Fabric

I’ve mentioned in a previous post how important I think Microsoft Fabric is going to be.

So, in addition to our existing SQL Down Under, and Cosmos Down Under podcasts, we have a brand new podcast called Fabric Down Under.

In the preview for Microsoft Fabric, one of the key participants from the product group has been Pawel Potasinski. I’ve known Pawel for many years and he’s been the driving force behind many important things. It was great to see him driving community around Microsoft Fabric in preview.

Microsoft has had a strong lead in BI and analytics for a long time now. The introduction of the tabular data models in 2012 was a watershed moment.

Today, they have announced a private preview of Microsoft Fabric. It’s a bigger deal than the tabular model was, and will set the direction of BI tooling for a long time to come.

The opposition was already struggling to keep up, and in fact, hadn’t managed to do so. Microsoft Fabric will up the ante much, much higher than where we already were.
