The demand for "instant data" in Microsoft Fabric presents a critical architectural choice: Real-Time Intelligence, Mirroring, or Shortcuts? Each option carries a different meaning of "real-time", with major implications for latency, cost, and complexity. We'll examine end-to-end latency from source to dashboard - because to your business users, data isn't "real-time" until they can actually see it.

In this session I'll explain how to match each option to the right scenario based on your data characteristics, your latency requirements, and how much complexity you're actually willing to maintain.
