Lessons from large-scale Fabric deployment
Proposed session for SQLBits 2026TL; DR
Based on Luke’s experience in working with large-scale Fabric deployments - especially within the Financial Services Industry, this session goes through some the key design questions and considerations that will be faced during large scale Fabric adoptions in Enterprise environments.
Some of the areas that will be covered include:
Workspace, capacity and tenant design
Managing user roles, skills and operational requirements
Balancing technical flexibility, whilst reducing technical sprawl
Establishing good practices from the beginning.
How to monitor, log and manage your environment
Regardless of whether you are planning a Fabric deployment with 1000s of users, or a couple of users - this session provides practical lessons and tips you can adopt.
