Demystifying Spark Profile Optimizations in Microsoft Fabric
A clear, practical overview of Spark optimizations in Microsoft Fabric covering optimizations on Delta Lake tables (with examples) to help you apply the right strategies on each layer in your data architecture
Optimizing Spark workloads in Microsoft Fabric can be a complex endeavor, given the array of available configurations and techniques. Terms like V-Order, Z-Order, and considerations for read-heavy versus write-heavy profiles often add to the confusion. In this session, we'll bring clarity to these concepts, offering a structured overview of each optimization strategy and how it impacts performance on the table level of a Delta Lake table
Through practical examples and performance considerations, attendees will gain insights into how to fit these optimizations into their data architecture, whether dealing with read-intensive analytics or write-heavy data ingestion processes. By the end of this talk, you'll be equipped with the knowledge to make informed decisions, turning the complexity of Spark optimizations in Microsoft Fabric into a strategic advantage
