Transform Fabric Data Experience with GraphQL

Proposed session for SQLBits 2026

TL; DR

In this session, we’ll explore how GraphQL changes the way you work with Microsoft Fabric by enabling fast, flexible, and efficient access to complex datasets. You’ll learn how to construct clean, expressive queries that return exactly the data you need, streamline your interactions across Fabric services, and reduce roundtrips that slow your applications down. Whether you're building dashboards, micro‑apps, or automated workflows, this session will equip you with: - Practical examples of querying Fabric data using GraphQL - Patterns for simplifying integrations across Fabric workloads - Techniques to improve performance and developer productivity - Guidance on when and when not to use GraphQL in your solution architecture If you enjoy clean query patterns, intuitive tooling, and approaches that scale with your data, this session will help you move from chaos to clarity with GraphQL.
