Microsoft Fabric

Microsoft Fabric – Next-Generation End-to-End Analytics Platform

We implement Microsoft Fabric – a unified solution for Data Engineering, Lakehouse, Data Science, Real-time Analytics and Power BI on OneLake. One product instead of a fragmented data stack.

Unified Platform

Data Engineering, Warehouse, Data Science and Power BI in one SaaS product

OneLake

One data lake for the entire tenant in Delta Parquet format, no silos

Direct Lake

Power BI reads directly from Delta tables – ImportMode speed, DirectQuery freshness

Spark & T-SQL

Spark notebooks for Data Engineering, T-SQL Warehouse for analysts

What is Microsoft Fabric?

Microsoft Fabric is a unified analytics SaaS platform introduced in 2023, integrating six workloads under one roof: Data Engineering (Spark), Data Warehouse (T-SQL), Data Factory (ETL/ELT), Data Science (ML), Real-time Analytics (KQL) and Power BI.

At its core is OneLake – a single multi-cloud data lake in Delta/Parquet format. Shortcut technology allows accessing data in Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Storage without copying. In Direct Lake mode, Power BI reads directly from OneLake with import speed and DirectQuery freshness.

Who is Microsoft Fabric For?

  • Data teams replacing a fragmented stack (Synapse + Databricks + Power BI) with one solution
  • Companies building a modern Lakehouse architecture with medallion pattern (Bronze/Silver/Gold)
  • Data Engineering teams needing Spark-based ETL/ELT pipelines with versioned tables
  • Data analysts and Data Scientists sharing common data from OneLake
  • Organizations with real-time IoT or event streaming requirements (KQL database, Eventhouse)

Typical Microsoft Fabric Use Cases

Modern Data Lake (Lakehouse)

Medallion architecture – Bronze (raw data), Silver (cleansed), Gold (business ready) – on OneLake with automated Spark pipelines.

Consolidated Enterprise Reporting

Replacing Azure Synapse + Power BI Premium with a single Fabric F64 capacity node with Direct Lake Power BI reports for the whole company.

Real-time IoT Analytics

Eventstream ingests data from IoT devices into a KQL database; Real-time Power BI dashboards show current production status.

Predictive ML Models

Data Scientists train models in Fabric Data Science (MLflow), results are stored in OneLake and connected to Power BI reports.

FAQ – Microsoft Fabric

Microsoft Fabric is the next-generation unified analytics platform integrating Lakehouse, Data Engineering, Data Science, Real-time Analytics and Power BI into one SaaS product on OneLake. Azure Synapse requires managing separate components.

OneLake is the central data lake for the entire Microsoft Fabric tenant in Delta Parquet format. Shortcut technology makes data from ADLS Gen2, S3 or GCS accessible without copying.

Fabric scales from medium data sets (tens of GB) to petabyte-scale data lakes. Shared capacities (F2, F4) for smaller volumes; dedicated capacities F64+ for enterprise workloads.

Yes. Fabric uses the same T-SQL interface as Synapse and the same Spark engine as Databricks. We offer migration complexity assessment and phased transition without downtime.

Power BI is a native part of Fabric. In Direct Lake mode, reports read directly from Delta tables in OneLake – ImportMode speed with DirectQuery freshness.
