(Livestream Replay) Fabric Lakehouse Hell...or Glory?!? - with Tom Martens

DESCRIPTION πŸ“„

During the last months, we have heard a lot about Microsoft Fabric and how it will change the analytical landscape. How it will help solve the most demanding analytical challenges.

It has become simple to create a lakehouse in seconds, or two, or a hundred. How will we organize our Fabric workspace? Do we have one workspace with three lakehouses (bronze, silver, and gold), or do we have three workspaces? Next to the number of workspaces, what about the capacities? Will a solution β€œown” multiple capacities, or only one or two, and share compute power with other teams, utilizing the idea of the share economy? Here, I want to share some early thoughts, including aspects of data architectures like data mesh and data fabric.
