In the world of Azure where everything was separate cloud components, it was easy to mix and match tools and resources to build your own platform. But with Microsoft Fabric, we have a single platform, so how do we bring our own tools to the party? How do we use all of the incredible engineering, machine learning and AI power inside Databricks, but woven seamlessly into our Fabric environment? How do we structure our Lakehouses? How do we think about security? Where does Unity Catalog come in? Lots of questions that need some thought!

In this session we'll run through the Databricks and Fabric platforms and compare the areas that overlap and where our various analytical personas would work. We'll then look at a reference architecture and go through the steps to bring the two together into a single approach, before contrasting some alternative patterns.
