Explicit Measures Podcast

Mike, Seth, & Tommy go through a users frustration around missing features with Fabric & Pipelines. What's the purpose of deployment pipelines and GIT integration when Dataflows, (direct lake) semantic models and reports are not supported? I'm struggling to get my head around it and to convince management that Fabric should be the data platform of choice. I'm reverting back to good old golden datasets to have some profit of a dev-test-prod pipeline.

We have a great new mailbag from Chris Young! Chris Young from metro Detroit here. My question is a simple one. Is Fabric soup yet? I know its GA, but do we trust it with production processes yet? My organization has not enabled it our tenant yet, opting to keep using ADLS and ADF for now for fear of instability. Is this justified? My boss and I are chomping at the bit to start using Fabric, but he's nervous. Help us out, please.
