This blog will walk you through the entire data lifecycle of ingesting data from SharePoint and Azure Blob Storage, through the lakehouse pattern, and finally to the reporting stage - all using Microsoft Fabric. For more information on lake layers, you can see Ed's blog Medallion Architecture: What is it?

For the purpose of this blog post, we’ll use Databricks as our source and use dbt core as our dbt instance. For what we’ve demonstrated in this blog post, dbt has made the process of creating, documenting, and testing a data model really easy. Bring the data through and register it as a delta table. option("delimiter", "t").csv('dbfs:/databricks-datasets/flights/airport-codes-na.txt'))

We think there are some great features in Fabric so in this blog post we want to highlight our top 10. DOMAINS When you look at Fabric as a whole, Microsoft are fostering a Data Mesh architecture and this is supported with the ability to create and govern Domains. We gave an introduction to what it is in this post.

That’s the easy part but how do we turn that into a robust, logical architecture that will give us a successful Analytics Platform? This is where Domains come into play and start to hint towards the Data Mesh architecture that Microsoft is trying to weave into Fabric (pun intended!)

With Fabric, Microsoft are ambitiously embracing the Data Lakehouse architecture in a Mesh-like vision. OneLake is the key enabler of this architecture and the capability to organise data with ‘Domains’ and ‘Workspaces’. That is a huge, powerful message, simplifying architectures and bringing dashboards and the lake closer than ever.
