When Deployment Pipelines Aren’t Enough: CI/CD Patterns for Microsoft Fabric at Scale
Have you ever wondered how to bring proven software development CI/CD methods into Microsoft Fabric without losing governance? In large Fabric environments, the hardest problem is not deploying once—it is letting many teams deploy safely at the same time, with traceability, approvals, and clear ownership.
In this session, you will learn a practical CI/CD model for Fabric built on Azure DevOps, Fabric CLI, and the Fabric Python CI/CD package. We will show a scalable workspace and environment structure, a service principal access pattern based on least privilege, and a release process with gates that platform teams can enforce without slowing delivery. You will leave with a repeatable blueprint: a reference pipeline flow, a recommended repo and branching approach, and a checklist for permissions, promotion, and deployment controls that works across multiple domains and projects.
