Discover how Microsoft Fabric, influenced by the pioneering Data Mesh framework, can transform your data and analytics strategy.

In this insightful session, Barry will start with an introduction to Data Mesh, explaining Zhamak Dehghani's vision for delivering data-driven value at scale. He will then explore the features and capabilities of Microsoft Fabric that align with Data Mesh principles, showcasing how to create a scalable, data-driven ecosystem.

Throughout the talk, Barry will provide practical examples of how you can use Fabric to create reusable "data products" and promote democratisation of data and analytics by enabling "domain ownership" across your organization. He will also demo DataOps capabilities in Fabric that enable data and analytics capabilities to be scaled up safely by applying "federated computational governance".

Join this session to see how Microsoft Fabric can enable you to re-boot your data strategy to build innovative data solutions, promote collaboration, and scale up your data and analytics infrastructure efficiently and safely. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to harness the power of Microsoft Fabric to deliver impactful data-driven value.

This is an extended version of 20 minute talk I provided at SQLbits 2024, This was very well attended, achieving an overall score of 8.29 out of 9. Feedback "Really well delivered session, good pace, easy to follow, very informative, great content covered". By extending to 60 minutes, it will allow me to address the only suggestion for improvement in feedback: "Make it a longer session with examples".

I also presented on this topic to a packed room at the "London Fabric User Group" in February 2024.

I've produced a series of blogs around this topic in a series of blogs: for example: https://endjin.com/blog/2023/08/how-does-microsoft-fabric-measure-up-to-data-mesh. This has been mentioned / discussed in 2 episodes of the Azure Data Community Round Table "Tales From The Field" webcast: https://www.youtube.com/@Tales-from-the-Field.
