Is This Just Real-Time… or Is It Just Fabric?
Everyone wants real-time data, but what does that actually mean? When your business users say real-time, are they talking about a few seconds, a few minutes, or just “faster than yesterday”?
In this session, we’ll pull back the curtain on the buzzword and explore what “real-time” really means from near-real-time micro-batching to true event-driven streaming and how you can build these patterns directly within Microsoft Fabric.
You’ll see practical examples of how to:
Ingest and process streaming data in real time using Fabric
Compare performance between small batch pipelines and traditional data warehouse ingestion
Choose the right architecture for your organization’s definition of “real-time”
Through live demos and relatable use cases, you’ll walk away knowing how to design a Real-Time Intelligence Fabric that fits your needs and how to stop chasing fantasy real-time.
