Draft:Microsoft Fabric

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Microsoft Fabric is an umbrella platform created by Microsoft to unify data user experience. It has management, access and development of tools, applications and services related but not limited to data engineering, data analysis and data science. It most notably holds Power BI as a very wide spread data analysis application, among many other tools such as Data Factory, Synapse Data Engineering, OneLake, etc.

It was first announced by Satya Nadella at Microsoft Build 2023 and has since been available for public. The platform provides capabilities for building and managing data pipelines from a variety of different sources, as well as a so called centralized data lake (OneLake) repository for unified data storage and consumption.
