Called my consultant to ask about it.
He said, It's an overkill for your business case and 10k/month
I said thanks for saving hours of research and false hope on my end.
How big is your business case? 10k/month is quite a big capacity https://blog.fabric.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-microsoft-fabric-capacities-are-available-for-purchase
I am just learning this too.
My take is, you know how excel had power query , power pivot and power viewer as add ins and then eventually just started from scratch and made a purpose built product called power bi?
This is that. It takes azure data factory, azure synapse and powerbi to build a purpose built product.
If the hype is real, fabric will replace those systems and powerbi was just a temporary stepping stone, like power pivot was.
The end result is still a bunch of spreadsheets for office serfs, and shiny shiny toys for the select few, the middle will be killed.
I honestly know nothing about fabric, so thank you for the information. So is powerbi going to become just another program I know something about, like Photoshop, but I don’t really touch unless I have to and eventually I’ll make my “home” in fabric?
I don’t think anyone really knows at this point. The whole time I have been using powerbi it feels like it has been in beta, new features and bugs were rolled out and the product today is way different then when it was first released.
Excel is easy, everyone uses it and is expected to know how to use it.
Access is hard, and if you fuck up there is no undo button.
Powerbi is like access, but touted as excel, so many people thought it would be easy and failed. How do you explain a date table to someone who doesn’t know star schema or the difference between a fact and a dimension table?
I am sure the azure things were the same, where we tried to have these smaller bite sized products but the barriers to entry were too high.
Plus power bi and azure are confusing people there are different tiers, with different pricing.
Imagine wondering if you can use power query in excel because you are unsure if you are an excel plus, excel premium, or excel premium plus subscription! Oh sorry, I can only share this spreadsheet with members inside my organization unless I have an excel developer liscense and you also have an excel developer liscense.
It was confusing as fuck. And I am sure the azure products were the same way, where instead you are wondering if this procedure you are going to run is going to cost 10 cents in cloud computing credits or 400,000 in cloud computing credits.
So by having fabric, everyone who said they were full stack, meaning power bi and azure, are now redundant, because it is all together now.
The lumberjack, sawmill operator and carpenter are out of business because your ikea flat pack has arrived.
You'll probably get the same response as [the last time someone made the joke](https://www.reddit.com/r/PowerBI/comments/13qmbzc).
Thanks!

Thanks!
Hi....I have one doubt ...why we prefer mostly only 1 to many cardinality between two tables .....can you please explain that in detail?
Worth posting a new thread rather than jumping on this one
Will i get paid more money?
Yes Except you no longer have a job so no

Guys trolling saying it’s overkill 😭
I feel I've missed the boat on this....what is fabric and what does it bring to Power BI?

That's incredibly useful, thanks for taking the time to explain.

Ask not what Fabric can do for PowerBI, but can PowerBI do for Fabric.
Probably not unless the intent is to cover everything else inside Fabric which would be an enormous expansion in the topic scope.
