Fabric Capacities: Divide and Conquer

Proposed session for SQLBits 2026

TL; DR

In this session, we’ll explore how to monitor, split and configure Fabric Capacities for different workloads. Autoscaling, auto pause, bursting, smoothing, monitoring, and more, we’ll cover it all.

Session Details

A single Fabric Capacity is easy to set up. But what about the risk of a single user taking down your entire data estate with a poorly written query? In this session, we’ll explore how to split and configure Fabric Capacities for different workloads. Autoscaling, auto pause, bursting, smoothing, monitoring, and more, we’ll cover it all. By the end of this talk, you’re ready to build a scalable and robust design Fabric Workspace and Capacity design for the entire organization.

3 things you'll get out of this session

- Learn what a Capacity is and how to monitor it - Learn how to avoid throttling - Learn how to design your Fabric estate
