HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!! I hope you all had a wonderful break. We are back with a bang already with the recording from our call today reviewing the latest Product and Community updates. 👋 Welcome to the fifth Cross-Community Monthly Update! Each month, I'll be populating this post, with updates from all the Communities/ Channels I manage, PLUS updates from the Fabric Product Team from the recent December 2025 Product Updates - new features. I hear from lots of people that it's difficult to keep up-to-date with Fabric and all the constant changes, so hopefully this will serve as a useful resource for tracking what's changing, and what's important. As always, your feedback is very welcome! 🟩 Learn Microsoft Fabric Community Updates - Well done to everyone that passed their DP-600 or DP-700 exam this month - there are far too many of you to call out individuals - but if you passed, well done! A great way to round off the year. - What to expect in 2026? I'll continue to support and grow the free community in 2026 - doing my best to answer questions and provide support (for free), to as many people as I have the time to support! Thanks for being a part of it and contributing in 2025. 🟦 Fabric Dojo Community Updates for this month - We developed TWO real-world projects in the Dojo in Q4 2025, showcasing two approaches to developing a Fabric Data Platform (for a real-world client). - What to expect in 2026? We will continue to develop and maintain the most comprehensive Fabric Data Engineering education available. - We'll be welcoming @Rui Carvalho - he's a Data Engineer who spends a lot of his time optimizing Spark jobs, and he's an awesome teacher. He'll be delivering a series of tutorials to take your Spark skills to the next-level. - We also have Microsoft MVP @Alexandru Badiu delivering a series on User Data Functions & Translytical Taskflows in Fabric - that is something you won't want to miss, as TTFs is changing how companies are using Fabric/ Power BI in a considerable way (building app-like experiences, where the user can write data back to a Fabric SQL database). - I'll be delivering new content focusing on AI-powered workflows for Fabric Data Engineers - the time is right - it's changing how we work in quite big ways, so let's get on top of it and learn how it can help us build better engineering solutions in Fabric.

Hey everyone! Have you been keeping up-to-date with the latest generation of AI models? If you HAVEN'T, then I recommend checking them out - they are insane to be honest - I'm talking Claude Opus 4.5, Gemini 3.0, GPT 5.1 etc. Has huge implications for how we will work in the future. I'm just figuring out the best workflows for implementing these models in Fabric workflows, I'll share more of my thinking and research in the following weeks/ months, but I'm interested - have you been keeping up-to-date with the LLM updates? Have you been thinking about how to integrate into Fabric - let me know what you've found so far!

Hey community! Are you using the Variable Library in Fabric?! I'm doing some research for a future YouTube video, and it would be great to open up a bit of a discussion around how you're using them so far, considering they are now Generally Available! What use cases are you using them for? Any tips to share about how you set them up? Or perhaps you're using the REST API endpoints for variable libraries for more advanced use cases? Any experience, big or small, would be useful to know about - so please share below! 👇👇👇

I have multiple pipelines in Fabric. Some copy databases (like PostgreSQL) into the warehouse, while others run notebooks and collect data from APIs and Firebase into Fabric. Right now, I only receive a simple email notifying me that something went wrong, but I need to open the pipeline manually to check the error details. What I want is: - To automatically send an email with the log file or detailed error message when a pipeline fails. - To send this email in HTML format so it’s easier to read. How can I configure this in Fabric? Is there a built-in way ? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
