Episode 285: Who Is Using Microsoft Fabric

Fabric personas were originally designed to break down the various functional roles within Microsoft Fabric—such as Power BI, Data Factory, Data Activator, Data Engineering, Data Science, Data Warehouse, and Real-time Analytics—into more manageable, bite-sized sections. The goal was to prevent users from feeling overwhelmed by the platform’s breadth. However, this feature has since been discontinued, as it did not effectively communicate the seamless integration between these roles. Still, the underlying concepts can be useful when thinking about how you might approach Fabric from a functional standpoint.
