What is Microsoft Fabric?

Microsoft Fabric is an all-in-one modern data platform as a service. Built on an extensible Lakehouse architecture, Fabric offers a complete managed data stack - data engineering, storage, analytics and data science - in a single, simplified environment. It natively integrates Power BI, Azure Synapse and other Microsoft services, eliminating the need to stitch together multiple separate tools.


  • Simplicity - No infrastructure to manage. SaaS by design with built-in capacity management.

  • Security - Built-in compliance, Microsoft Entra ID integration and role-based access control.

  • Scalability - Handles large data volumes and ML workloads without infrastructure complexity.

  • Integration - Native connectors from Power BI, Azure Synapse and the broader Microsoft ecosystem.

  • Affordability - Lower total cost of ownership than building equivalent capability in-house.
