In this Microsoft Partner Showcase, we're joined by Shaun Van Staden from Starburst. Shaun gives us insight into data meshes, their typical challenges, and demos how Starburst can accelerate development of analytical workloads. more »
In this session we look at the Synapse Serverless SQL Pool, and examine how we can use that in conjunction with Power BI incremental refresh to deliver a manageable and cost effective way to deliver a model with frequent data refreshes. more »
Polybase and Copy are very performant ways to load data from Azure Storage into Azure Synapse. In this session, we will discuss how they differ from one another and when to use one over the other. more »
Real time analytics is important in today's digital world and that's where Synapse Link for Dataverse can help connect Microsoft Dataverse to Azure Synapse Analytics for accelerate time to insight. In this session, we will explore how Synapse Link for Dataverse works, and how it can power near real time analytics on your business application data. more »
In this session we examine advanced model design principles for Power BI. When dealing with larger models and lower data latency requirements, incremental refresh can be great tools to achieve these goals. We will discuss the problems incremental refresh and hybrid tables were designed to address, and will demonstrate how to build and deploy these features. Finally we'll discuss best practices for using these features in your own environment. more »
Real time analytics is important in today’s digital world. If your transactional data is stored in SQL, Synapse Link for SQL can help turn the transactional data into near real time analytical data. In this session, we will learn how Synapse Link for SQL works and how to get started. more »
Real time analytics is important in today’s digital world and that’s where Synapse Link for Cosmos DB comes into the picture. In this session, we will learn how Synapse Link for Cosmos DB helps to deliver near real time analytics on your transactional data. more »
We know that security is job one in the cloud. In this session, we’ll explore how to secure both Synapse pipelines and notebooks using Azure Key Vault (AKV). more »
Analytics is a vital part of decision making, and more than ever creators must collaborate effectively to author reliable and available reports. This session will look at the deployment pipelines tool in Power BI, allowing creators to manage the lifecycle (develop and test) before moving into production. more »
Synapse Data Explorer
This session will look at Azure Synapse Data Explorer. Azure Synapse Data Explorer provides customers with an interactive query experience to unlock insights from log and telemetry data. To complement existing SQL and Apache Spark analytics runtime engines, the Data Explorer analytics runtime is optimized for efficient log analytics using powerful indexing technology to automatically index free-text and semi-structured data commonly found in telemetry data. more »
Mike Shelton explores the basics of schema design in a SQL Pool (SQL DW). What is a star schema and why do we use it? more »
What is Data Governance?
In this high level session, we'll explore what data governance is, why we need it, and the people, processes, and technology needed to implement a data governance strategy. This presentation is primarily for those new to data governance, looking for guidance on best practices, or planning a strategy for evolving their current data governance strategy. more »
