ABOUT THE SESSION

In a world of multiple tools and endless data sources, how do you design the right integration strategy in Microsoft Fabric?

Join Javier and Gaston, two Microsoft MVPs in Data Platform for a live demo-driven session that breaks down the real-world patterns, use cases, and best practices for landing, transforming, and orchestrating data in Microsoft Fabric.

Whether you’re working with a Lakehouse, Data Warehouse, Eventhouse, or SQL Database, this session gives you the playbook to select and combine the right tools for the job.

We’ll walk through:

  • Landing data using Data Pipelines, OneLake shortcuts, and external connections
  • Transforming and cleaning data using Notebooks (Spark) for scale and flexibility
  • Business logic and last-mile transformation using Dataflows Gen2
  • How to orchestrate it all using Fabric Data Pipelines for repeatable, maintainable workflows
  • When and why to land your data into Lakehouses, Data Warehouses, Eventhouses, or SQL endpoints

You’ll walk away with:

  • A clear understanding of which tools to use when across the Fabric integration stack
  • A working knowledge of how to combine multiple integration techniques in one solution
  • Architecture patterns and decision criteria for building scalable data landing zones
  • Live demos you can replicate to accelerate your own Fabric journey
