Fabric for ISVs - Develop multi-tenancy apps on Fabric
Proposed session for SQLBits 2026TL; DR
If you are looking to build applications on-top-of and in Fabric - then this is the session for you. This session outlines keys to build applications with Fabric, the trade-offs and complexities.
Session Details
Microsoft Fabric provides a unified data platform for customers to build solutions on - and this extends to ISVs as well. In this session we will discuss some of patterns, practices and considerations for ISVs building apps on Fabric.
These patterns, practices, and considerations are inspired by our collaboration with top ISVs across industries who are developing applications on Fabric.
As part of this we will look into two common use-cases
1) Modernizing SQL reporting solutions to Fabric
2) Lakehouse and Spark-centric data access solutions
In this session we will cover:
1 - options for customer isolation and tenancy considerations
2 - managing network access, authentication and authorization in common ISV solutions
3 - automation options for ISVs to enable scalable, repeatable and reliable deployments.
4 - logging and auditing concerns in an ISV scenario
5 - integration Apps built on Fabric with the Fabric Workload Extensibility SDK
6 - different options for enabling customer access to data from a range of applications

3 things you'll get out of this session
1 - understand the different options for building applications with Fabric, and clearly understand the scenarios which might drive choices.
2 - clear understanding of the tenancy considerations when building these applications and the security trade-offs that exist
3 - know how to start with success in mind to deploy at scale.
