Optimizing Spark Compute for Medallion Architectures in Microsoft Fabric

Guidance to Maximizing Productivity and Efficiency for your Data Engineering Workloads Data engineering teams often grapple with the complexities of planning and configuring compute resources for their data platforms. This is especially true when working with large-scale, complex datasets and demanding downstream SLAs. A one-size-fits-all approach is rarely effective, as different data layers and datasets … Continue reading “Optimizing Spark Compute for Medallion Architectures in Microsoft Fabric”

Introducing High Concurrency Mode for Notebooks in Pipelines for Fabric Spark

We’re excited to introduce high concurrency mode for notebooks in pipelines, bringing session sharing to one of the most popular orchestration mechanisms for enterprise data ingestion and transformation. Notebooks will now automatically be packed into an active high concurrency session without compromising performance or security, while paying for a single session. Key Benefits: Why Use … Continue reading “Introducing High Concurrency Mode for Notebooks in Pipelines for Fabric Spark”
