I had the opportunity to lead a hands-on session on Building a Medallion Architecture in Microsoft Fabric for the Nigeria Fabric User Group last weekend, and I had an amazing time demonstrating how data moves through Bronze (raw), Silver (validated), and finally Gold Layer(enriched) for super efficient analytics. You can check out the project documentation here on my Github. Here are some of the cool pictures from the Physical Meetup.

Happy Friday everyone! I just released a new video describing my view on Analytics Engineering, the four areas that I think are most important, and how that might be different from what you learnt from the DP-600 exam. Take a look, would love to hear your thoughts: 👉🔗 https://youtu.be/of0Q8diezZQ Enjoy your weekend!

This is a pretty big one. No official announcement yet, perhaps they will announce formally at next week's conference... But if you take a look at some of the REST API endpoint documentation (e.g. this Create Lakehouse endpoint), you will notice a small, but impactful change (see image). You will see that you can now create items from a Service Principal account (which was previously not supported). What does this mean, you might be asking? Well, traditionally, when you create things like a Lakehouse in Fabric, you become the owner. A Service Principal (which can be created and managed in Azure Entra ID) is a generic user account, that can be now used to create these items. This makes it easier to automate creation of new items at different stages in a CI/CD pipeline. And means the 'Owner' is the Service Principal, not an individual. Is this something that you've been waiting for? Let me know how you'll be using it below 👇

Hey everyone, after the summer break, TODAY we are resuming our Fabric Q&A sessions here in the Learn Microsoft Fabric community! Each month, we meet to discuss any queries or questions you might have about Fabric. Check the Calendar Event for more details about the session. It starts at 5pm UK time Note, these Fabric Q&A's are available to Level 2 members, if you're not a Level 2 member, you still have 8.5 hours to get there, see this post to learn how! One good post can easily get you there!

I worked on this project to analyze the news sentiment of the recently concluded Olympic Games Paris 2024. I made the initial post on LinkedIn here: In this project, I used Azure and Microsoft Fabric to do the following: 1. Create a Bing Search Resource in Azure. 2. Data Ingestion. 3. Data Transformation with Incremental Loading. 4. Sentiment Analysis with Incremental Loading. 5. Data Visualization and Reporting in Power BI. 6. Set up Alerts with Data Activator with notifications on Teams. See links to the detailed documentation👇 - Medium - LinkedIn Article - Github
