Fabric Mirroring for SQL Server

Fabric Mirroring offers a game-changing way to bring your operational SQL Server data into Microsoft Fabric for near real-time analytics—without complex ETL pipelines. In this session, we’ll focus on mirroring from SQL Server 2016 through SQL Server 2022, with a look ahead to what's coming for SQL Server 2025. We’ll explore why mirroring matters, what problems it solves, and how it fits into a modern data architecture. Expect practical demos showing exactly how to set up mirroring from SQL Server into Fabric—covering prerequisites, permissions, deployment steps, and tips to avoid common pitfalls. While the spotlight is on SQL Server, we’ll briefly touch on mirroring for Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance, and Fabric SQL DB, to help you understand where each fits in the broader picture. Whether you're dealing with on-premises SQL Server or planning future upgrades, this session will equip you with the knowledge to unlock the full potential of Fabric Mirroring and simplify your data estate.
