Power BI CICD where are we? Where are we going?

Ability to natively perform CICD in Power BI it's been one of the most demanded feature forever.
During 2023 Microsoft announced new features that promise to close the gap.

From modelling perspective there's a new sheriff in town called TMDL (Tabular Model Definition Language) that simplifies model development, management and versioning replacing JSON-based TMSL with a new more-readable YAML-like standard.

In the meantime huge applauses at Microsoft Build 2023 when Power BI Developer Mode had been revealed. This feature allows natively version control over Power BI Desktop files with a native integration between Azure DevOps git repos and Power BI Workspaces.

Each of these technologies promises to close the gap, but they can't work together yet and they're still in preview with some limitations.

They both have pros and cons so let's dig in and find out what we can do and what we can't do.
