This session explores how to harness Kusto’s materialized views to dramatically improve query performance and report responsiveness in Microsoft Fabric. Starting from the fundamentals, we’ll cover how materialized views are created, managed, and maintained — including strategies for aligning retention with source tables, managing backfill, and querying both materialized and non-materialized data seamlessly.

We’ll then zoom into eventhouses and show how materialized views fit into its architecture. Finally, we’ll bring it all together by showing how to combine materialized views with Power Query dynamic parameters in Power BI — enabling intelligent, user-driven filtering while still benefiting from pre-aggregated, optimized data.

Expect practical demos, architectural tips, and design patterns to help you build fast, scalable analytics solutions using Kusto and Power BI in Fabric.
