Zero to Lakehouse in Microsoft Fabric

Fabric is Microsoft's unified software as a service data platform, built around a Data Lakehouse architecture. In this session I'll share an array of data Lakehouse architecture patterns, and demonstrate how you can build a full Data Lakehouse platform without ever touching an Azure resource.
Fabric is Microsoft's unified software as a service data platform, built around a Data Lakehouse architecture but do you create a Lakehouse, or a Warehouse, or both? How does it all fit together and how can you get the most out of it?

In this session I'll explain what all the components of Microsoft Fabric are, a few architecture patterns you can follow to get what you need, and demonstrate how you can bring them together to build a full Data Lakehouse platform without ever touching an Azure resource. You will leave this session with a good understanding of Fabric, it's capabilities, and how you can use it to implement a scalable Data Lakehouse.
