Hi everyone, things have gone fast since I launched this community back in January 2024!! I still remember my proud post when we reached 50 members (see below). Well, recently we crossed a previously unimaginable milestone of 5k members. Thank you to every one of you that chooses to spend your time here learning Fabric and engaging with the community. So far, we have had over 1200 conversations/ threads about Microsoft Fabric (the search bar contains a wealth of information!). I hope it has helped you learn Microsoft Fabric. The best thing is that this is just the start, I will continue to invest in this community because I can see it's making (at least a small) difference. But a community of this size is difficult to manage alone (especially as now I spend a lot of time in Fabric Dojo too). As such, I'm delighted to announce that I've brought on board Maleek - @Mubaraq Abdulmaleek to support yourselves (and me!) around the community. Maleek is hugely passionate about Fabric (he was one of the first members of this community back in January!), DP-600 certified and eager to learn as much as possible. He'll help new members get onboarded, help members find stuff (course content/ previous answers to community questions), and generally help make sure you have a great experience here. Great to have you here, Maleek! Soon, I'll share what I have planned for this community in 2025 and beyond. Thank you so much for being a part of this community we're building!

Hi Team, I just joined the community. Was wondering if anyone has used Purview and Profisee MDM in Fabric architecture for Data Governance. @Will Needham Great video on data validation process and governance using GX ( Great Expectations). Pleased to be here. Medard

Microsoft are rolling out changes to the Deployment Pipelines feature: Read more here Seems like quite a lot has changed, although the changes haven't been deployed yet (excuse the pun) to my region (UK). Here's a screenshot from the article.

So... this is some exciting news to share. For the last 3 months or so, I've been building a secret new project, called Fabric Dojo. The Private Preview stage is now complete (thanks to the 10+ of you that have been testing it!), so now it's time to share it with the world 🎉🥳 So what exactly is Fabric Dojo? Fabric Dojo is a brand-new community I am launching here on Skool, to train the next (first?) generation of Fabric Analytics Engineers and Data Engineers. The community is 100% hands-on, with new tutorials, projects and challenges each month. Over time, you'll gain the skills and practical experience you need to feel confident and competent building robust analytical systems in Fabric. All with constant support from myself and the community! Want to learn more? I'll be hosting a webinar on Saturday 31st August to tell you all about it.

Hi @Will Needham I have started working on Fabric and basically my need is to build BI reports/dashboards. Until fabric was available was using Power BI connecting to data sources and building the reports. Did not have a Data warehouse as of now as we stared using Power BI also 3 month ago. Instead of having an on-prem DW was considering to setup everything in Fabric. So this is where i am. I am considering to understand what my fundamental architecture should be with current needs and upcoming needs in future. We don't have on-prem data sources from where i need to get data and build reports that i have on my way. Basically majority of my reports will be single or multiple data sources like 1) AS400/ SQL/Excel files/Oracle DB 2) Information from online web portal from where data can be exported to excel or can connect the portals/ Cloud application like Jira cloud/ Cloud HRMS solutions. SO for the above Power BI report needs what is the appropriate architecture i should consider. I do not have Python expertise but have team that can help but good T-SQL exposure. Mainly i want to know how my architecture should be built so my current needs and future needs can be taken care without major changes. I have read about Medallion Architecture but not sure how i should define considering above needs
