Demystifying the Data Lakehouse in Microsoft Fabric
Are you a data architect, data engineer, or decision maker eager to understand the Data Lakehouse concept that’s taking the data world by storm? This session is tailored just for you.
Delve into key questions:
- Is your data trapped in departmental silos, making it hard to get a unified view of your organization?
- How are you supporting the growing demand for machine learning and AI within your business?
- Is your team still relying on SSRS scripts and manual SQL queries, slowing down innovation and efficiency?
- Are you struggling to secure and govern the data estate across your enterprise?
- What steps are you taking to ensure your data estate is tuned for the transformative power of AI?
- How can you use generative AI to fuel growth and streamline decision-making?
Discover the power of decoupling storage and compute, where storage is cheap, compute is expensive, and you can easily scale compute for specific tasks. Learn about OneLake and Delta Lake and why mastering PySpark makes sense for tasks like data cleaning, handling semi-structured data, and integrating with API-based sources like event streams.
Microsoft Fabric: Building a Data Ingestion and Processing framework to Drive Efficiency
Data pipelines are essential for moving and transforming data between different systems. However, managing a large number of data pipelines can be challenging and time-consuming. How can you ensure that your data pipelines are efficient, reliable, and consistent?
In this session, you will learn how to use a metadata-driven approach to manage your data pipelines and Notebook in Microsoft Fabric. Metadata is data about data, such as source, destination, schema and format.
By using metadata to define and control your data pipelines, you can achieve the following benefits:
- Simplify and automate the creation and execution of data pipelines
- Optimize the performance and scalability of data pipelines
- Monitor and troubleshoot data pipelines
We will show you how to implement a Data Ingestion and Processing framework based on the Medallion Lakehouse architecture. We will also share the key learnings, best practices, and patterns that we have discovered from applying this framework in our own work.
Getting started with Data Governance in Microsoft Fabric
Push your business into adopting a data governance culture, implementing processes in Microsoft Fabric using tools like Microsoft Purview and Microsoft Entra ID security, to drive towards data-driven decisions and solutions.
- Do you need help with data quality?
- Do you have duplicate vendors and customers in your sales reports?
- Do you simply need help identifying all the potential GDPR-affected data in your data estate?
All these problems come back to a central issue—your organization’s lack of solid data governance. In this session, you will learn how to implement data governance processes in your organization (sneak preview: it’s not an IT problem, exactly) and how you can implement those governance processes in Microsoft Fabric using tools like Purview and Entra security. You will also learn how to push the business into adopting a data governance culture and drive towards data-driven decisions and solutions.
