When Santa takes off, real-time insight becomes essential. The North Pole’s operations center must track Rudolph’s location, confirm each child’s delivery, and update toy inventory the moment a gift is dropped off.

This year, the sleigh’s telemetry feeds a Microsoft Fabric Eventstream carrying three critical pieces of data: the current geo-position, the child’s unique ID, and the gift’s unique ID. As events stream in, Fabric processes them instantly—updating a live tracking map, decrementing toy stock levels, and counting how many children have received their gifts.

In this session, we’ll build this real-time architecture step by step, from ingesting event data to visualizing it on a live dashboard. Attendees will learn how to use Fabric Eventstream, Lakehouse integration, and Real-Time Dashboards to achieve sub-second analytics for operational intelligence. It’s a hands-on look at real-time data pipelines that can handle Christmas Eve scale—and keep the sleigh flying on schedule.
