Sessions for 2026
SQL Server 2025 introduces groundbreaking capabilities for performance optimization and observability, while Microsoft Fabric brings unified analytics and AI-driven insights. But how do we combine these innovations to build a truly resilient, self-healing data platform? In this session, we’ll explore AI-Augmented Query Optimization and Fabric Observability to tackle real-world challenges like unpredictable workloads, query regressions, and performance bottlenecks. You’ll learn: Who this is for: Data engineers, DBAs, and architects managing mission-critical SQL workloads in hybrid or cloud environments. What problem it solves: Eliminates manual troubleshooting by leveraging telemetry, ML notebooks, and AI-driven root-cause analysis. What you’ll take away: A practical blueprint for creating a Self-Healing SQL Fabric Dashboard that combines SQL telemetry with Fabric ML for automated anomaly detection and performance tuning. Expect live demos, POC architecture, and actionable strategies to future-proof your data platform with SQL Server 2025 and Microsoft Fabric.
