For those who are interested in Microsoft Fabric, I’ve been blogging a lot about it. Recently wrote about calling Durable Azure Functions and ADLS SFTP usage with OneLake.

5 Recently GA Azure Container Apps Features
There are some Azure Container Apps features released to GA last week, and I wanted to recap those here and explain how they can be of use to you: 🧵

This looks very promising for future migrations and hopefully will bring down the initial cost.
But I wish there was first class support on Fabric for ADF Data Flows. For example, a client I'm working for has over 1500 data flows they developed over 3 years. Migration will be a challenge.
I’m happy to learn M, but it would be great to at least have DF1 support on Fabric, so the adoption from Synapse and ADF universe would be much easier. Learning curve less steep.
Personally, I felt like a team playing against Arsenal in Emirates in PM/Q environment. A bit hostile environment for me
… accordingly. You know what you’re into if you’ve used Spark before.
However, PQ is a different universe with different rules, and although it’s a powerful language, M is not used widely in analytics world, if you’ve not been working on Power BI specifically.
Hi Alex, I’m very sorry that haven’t replied your comment. Haven’t logged into bsky for about 3 weeks until now.
The biggest drawback is that it’s creating a big learning and migration curve for people who are not M developers. DF on ADF/Synapse is Spark-based, and the activities are structured…
I finally had time to start looking into #MicrosoftFabric. It is very exciting and promising, but I have to say, the Dataflow Gen2 being Power Query with M language is a big let down.
M might be a great language to use within Power BI, but it’s very clunky compared to ADF Dataflows.
An expensive one, though
Herman Miller Aeron might be an excellent chair, but it’s an even better dust magnet.
It collects more dust in 3 months than the rest of the house is combined.
