She-Ra and the Masters of the Dataverse

Proposed session for SQLBits 2026

TL; DR

By the power of OneLake! Learn how to link Dataverse to Fabric and use Copy job for fast, reliable replication. Discover when to choose Copy job, handle incremental loads, and cut costs—your path to mastering Dataverse starts here!

Session Details

By the power of OneLake! In this fast-paced, demo-first session, we’ll battle the chaos of operational change in Microsoft Dataverse and emerge as true Masters of the Dataverse.
We’ll show how to link Dataverse to Fabric, then wield Copy job to replicate inserts, updates, and deletes into your analytics estate (and beyond) with minimal friction.
You’ll see when to choose Copy job over pipelines, how incremental and CDC patterns keep your data fresh, and the guardrails that make the experience reliable at scale.
We’ll also cover selective loads, the right authentication model, scheduling and monitoring tips, and common pitfalls you can avoid before Skeletor shows up in your run history.
If you need a simple, robust path from Dataverse to Lakehouse and downstream destinations, this session hands you the sword.
You’ll learn how to:

Link Dataverse to a Fabric Lakehouse and use it as a high-fidelity source for replication.
Use Copy job for bulk and incremental loads, and understand how CDC replication fits into your strategy.
Save costs by using Copy job over Fabric Link and the storage costs associated with it.

3 things you'll get out of this session
