Microsoft Fabric offers multiple ways to run notebooks — each designed for a different balance of speed, scalability, and cost efficiency. But what truly sets these options apart? And how can you decide which approach best fits your workload, your team, and your budget?

In this session, we’ll explore the key dimensions behind notebook execution strategies in Fabric — from interactive exploration to production-grade pipelines. You’ll learn how execution choices affect performance, how they interact with different data frameworks, and what these differences mean in practical and financial terms.

Through concrete examples and real-world comparisons, we’ll connect the technical mechanics of notebook execution with their business implications — helping you understand not just how they work, but when and why to use each.

By the end of the session, you’ll be equipped to make informed decisions about how to execute your notebooks in Microsoft Fabric with confidence and clarity — achieving the right balance between agility, efficiency, and cost.
