Apache Spark has revolutionized big data processing, but running it efficiently at scale is no small feat. This session explores how Microsoft Fabric is simplifying the Spark experience while delivering faster performance with its native C++ execution engine.

We’ll dive into: 1) How Microsoft Fabric streamlines Spark operations by integrating data services under one platform. 2) The role of the native execution engines in optimizing Spark job performance. 3) Why the shift from Java-based execution to C++ is reshaping Spark's future and how teams can adapt it seamlessly inside Fabric and Lakehouse.
