Microsoft Fabric is a unified data and analytics platform, but why should developers care? This session cuts through the buzzwords and explores Fabric from a developer’s perspective. You will see how it brings together data engineering, data science, warehousing, and BI into one integrated environment, and what that means for your day-to-day workflow.
We will demonstrate Fabric’s DevOps-first features, including Git integration and CI/CD pipelines that let you source-control everything from databases to ETL flows. You will also explore developer APIs, including how Microsoft Fabric’s GraphQL endpoint can expose your data models as queryable APIs, allowing applications to retrieve structured data directly from Fabric using modern, secure interfaces.
The session will showcase Fabric’s built-in AI capabilities, especially how easy it is to implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) using your own data, and how Fabric Data Agents enable natural language Q&A for end users. Expect candid insights into what works well, what does not, and how Fabric fits into modern development workflows. By the end, you will have a clear understanding of how Microsoft Fabric can accelerate data projects, reduce friction across teams, and help you build smarter without giving up your tools.
