THE SESSION
What is Microsoft Fabric?
In this session we look at Fabric and what it is and what it isn't. Microsoft Fabric is an end-to-end analytics and data platform designed for enterprises that require a unified solution.
It encompasses data movement, processing, ingestion, transformation, real-time event routing, and report building. It offers a comprehensive suite of services including Data Engineering, Data Factory, Data Science, Real-Time Analytics, Data Warehouse, and Databases.
We dive into all this and see what makes Fabric tick!
