Fabric Were-house vs Murder Lakehouse: Making the Right {Halloween} Choice

Fabric Warehouse and Lakehouse use OneLake.
Both support SQL and Power BI.

So what should actually drive your choice between Fabric Warehouse and Fabric Lakehouse?

This session moves beyond feature checklists to the architectural decisions that matter.

We’ll establish clear definitions, explore how each platform works, and compare practical scenarios where one is a stronger fit: SQL-first development, multi-table transactions and business marts versus Spark engineering and mixed-format data.

We’ll challenge common assumptions—including “Lakehouse means no SQL” and “Warehouse is always better for BI” (which it is) and show when combining the two solves a real problem rather than adding unnecessary complexity.

Whether you’re a SQL developer, data engineer or architect, you’ll leave with a practical decision framework grounded in your team’s skills, your data and your workload not a one-size fits all recommendation.
