What is Microsoft Fabric?

Microsoft Fabric is a data lake-centric software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution that unifies data integration, governance, real-time analytics, Power BI and powerful AI models, to all be hosted in one accessible platform. 

 

At its heart is OneLake, a self-service delta lake house that operates like a OneDrive for all your business data. You can query it using the language of your choice from SQL, KQL, or Spark. You can also connect to it using Power BI. This means organisations can process data from start to finish, without leaving the easy to manage environment. Designed to empower citizen-users to get the insights they need, Microsoft Fabric is built to optimise low-code/no-code features and delivers an integrated and simplified experience of analytics.​
