Thread by Thread: Lessons from Migrating to Fabric
📍 Fabric Winterfest, Snow World, AntwerpThe largest Microsoft Fabric community event in Belgium
What does it take to roll out Microsoft Fabric in a real-life data team? In this session, we’ll walk through the journey of implementing Fabric at a mid-sized organization, from first pilot to full adoption. You’ll hear what worked, what didn’t, and what we learned along the way.
We’ll cover how we approached access control, workspace setup, setup of pipelines and notebooks, dbt, and monitoring, and where we had to get creative with workarounds. But we’ll also show how Fabric’s simplicity and rapid evolution made it a solid choice, even for teams without massive engineering resources. Whether you’re considering Fabric or already using it, this talk will help you steer clear of common pitfalls and get the most out of what Fabric has to offer.
