SQL Database in Microsoft Fabric is not “just another database”—it’s a reimagined, cloud-native relational engine built directly into the Fabric ecosystem. But what does that mean in practice? In this session, we’ll demystify SQL Database in Fabric by covering:
• What it is: How SQL Database in Fabric differs from traditional Azure SQL or SQL Server
• How it works: Behind-the-scenes architecture, scalability model, and integration with other Fabric components (e.g., Lakehouse, Pipelines, Real-Time Hub)
• Why it matters: Use cases that benefit from a native SQL layer inside your analytics platform—like real-time ingestion, metadata consistency, and low-latency querying
We’ll also discuss limitations, patterns, and coexistence with traditional databases. Expect practical demos, architectural guidance, and honest discussion of where SQL Database in Fabric fits in a real-world data platform strategy.
