Microsoft Fabric is a comprehensive Software-as-a-Service data platform built on Data Lakehouse architecture principles. What’s less apparent, but equally powerful, is how it incorporates the governance framework of a Data Mesh architecture but isn't Data Mesh dead?

In this session, we’ll dive into how Microsoft Fabric serves as the technological foundation for implementing both a traditional Data Mesh and a Federated Data Mesh. Beyond the technology, we’ll explore the critical role of people and processes in shaping a successful implementation.

You’ll learn about the core components of each approach, the challenges they address, and how to navigate the trade-offs between centralised and federated governance. Whether you’re considering a Data Mesh for scalability, autonomy, or better domain ownership, this session will provide you the tools you need and the understanding to architect a successful data ecosystem.
