(Livestream Replay) Deploying Reports with PBI-Tools - with Mathias Thierbach

PBI-Tools is an open-source project bringing source control capabilities to Power BI developers. The days of black-box .pbix files are over, and Power BI projects can now be run with established engineering practices such as: change control, branches, and CI/CD pipelines. In November, PBI-Tools added a new deployment feature for Power BI reports, based on declarative deployment manifests (also held in source control). You'll understand the basics of PBI-Tools, and see the new 'deploy' action in practice, both on the desktop as well as in Azure DevOps.

GUEST BIO πŸ‘€

In 2015, after having spent over ten years as a Software Developer and Architect with Microsoft technologies, Mathias Thierbach moved into the Microsoft BI space. He soon landed on Power BI, but also realized quickly that the development and engineering tools and practices were nothing like the ones well established in software development. This is how pbi-tools started as a project, filling this gap in tooling. Today, leading a growing data management team at YouGov, he experiences the benefits of those efforts every day. Having open sourced the project in fall of 2021, Mathias spends a lot of his free time bringing those practices to the wider Power BI community now.
