Microsoft Fabric became generally available on November 15th. Fabric is a SaaS (Software as a Service) product that unites Azure data tools including Azure Data Lake, Power BI, Azure Data Factory, Azure Synapse, IoT tools such as Kusto DBs for streaming data and more into a single unified product. The underlying data structure integrates smoothly with Azure Databricks and other tools. If you are interested in trying out Microsoft Fabric, we’ve put together a Git Repo that can be deployed in a few hours for end-to-end solution modules that can be used as for POCs.
Data used in the Git Repo is open healthcare data, so you can try out the tools without PHI/PII concerns. There are two modules at the time of this article: 1) the Business Intelligence and Data Warehouse module uses over 220 million rows of real CMS Medicare Part D data and 2) the Data Science module uses data features that can predict diabetes.
The Git Repo is available at this link: https://github.com/isinghrana/fabric-samples-healthcare/tree/main
A 5 minute preview demo of the Direct Lake/Data Warehouse module is provided below:
