ABOUT THE SESSION

Join Microsoft’s product team for a hands-on workshop that empowers developers and data professionals to build modern, AI-ready applications using SQL Database in Microsoft Fabric. This SaaS-native database experience combines the familiarity of T-SQL with source control, seamless OneLake replication, and deep integration with tools like VS Code, SSMS, and Copilot.

In this full-day session, you’ll build a real-world solution from the ground up — designing, deploying, and optimizing an AI-powered app using SQL Database in Fabric.

What You’ll Learn and Do:

  1. Understand what SQL Database in Fabric is, why we built it, and how it benefits developers.
  2. Explore a real-world business scenario and work with its data throughout the workshop.
  3. Provision and configure a SQL Database in Fabric to power an AI application.
  4. Use Copilot to generate database objects and write complex queries.
  5. Create GraphQL endpoints and Notebooks to enrich and query data.
  6. Implement a RAG pattern using vector search and embeddings.
  7. Build write-back Power BI reports using Translytical Taskflows and Fabric UDFs.
  8. Secure your data with Entra ID, database roles, and workspace permissions.
  9. Monitor workloads, manage source control, optimize costs, and scale efficiently.
  10. Get a sneak peek at upcoming features and innovations directly from the product team.

You’ll leave with a working solution, architectural insights, and practical skills you can apply immediately in your organization or with customers.
