Session
Using DuckDB on Microsoft Fabric
DuckDB has been shaking up the analytics space as an in-memory OLAP database that’s lightweight, incredibly fast, and easy to use. While it has been a hot topic in the Databricks community, its role in Microsoft Fabric is less frequently discussed—but no less exciting. So, how well do DuckDB and Fabric actually play together?
In this session, we’ll explore the current state of DuckDB in the Fabric ecosystem, including where it fits in, what’s possible today, and what gaps still exist. We’ll compare its capabilities with Fabric’s built-in engines, analyze how it interacts with OneLake and Delta Tables, and evaluate its performance in real-world scenarios.
Through practical examples and live demos, you’ll learn how DuckDB can accelerate query execution, simplify data transformations, and complement Fabric’s native tools. We’ll also discuss when DuckDB is a game-changer—and when you might be better off with other options.
By the end of this talk, you’ll have a clear understanding of how to integrate DuckDB into your Fabric workflows, what advantages (and limitations) to expect, and whether it deserves a spot in your analytical toolbox.
