Data marts, warehouses, lakes, whatever the name, the pattern of consolidating data across an enterprise for comprehensive analytics is a familiar one. Every enterprise has many data sources, some operational, some analytics, some telemetry, and bringing them together has always been a challenge. Cleaning the data, curating for consistency, exploring, doing data science, building reports, monitoring, is another series of challenges in bringing a range of tools to bear on the data, thanks to diverse data formats and tooling. With Gen AI, the requirements (e.g., vector indexing for RAG) and potential value of the data have both gone up. And the pressure to ensure right use of the data, to comply to a broad range of regulations, to secure the data has never been higher. We believe the time has come to come together around open data standards to ensure that data is easy to consolidate and easy to plug into a wide variety of tools, all in a properly governed way. Josh and I describe the approach we are taking at Microsoft with Fabric and Purview. We are building on open Parquet-based updatable table formats such as Delta, Iceberg and Hudi, and interop across them with XTable. We are making it easy to consolidate data with mechanisms like mirroring and shortcuts. Ultimately, users should be able to use their tool of choice for a given task with the least friction.

When something is that convoluted to deploy then it’s days are numbered - but copilot probably gives the end result in a better experience so all is not lost but a frustrating huge effort by many MVPs to try & make it sticky. More to follow on this 💫 #vivaexplorers 🧭

Microsoft Build. Many AI and Copilots inside. “At Microsoft Build 2024, CEO Satya Nadella discusses with developers the company’s strategy to add AI throughout its product lineup, from the cloud to the desktop PC. In addition, Nadella talks about its recent partnerships with Nvidia and AMD.”

A frequent event - Microsoft Ignite :-) valuable to attend (virtual, for those of us who cannot travel) and a lot of content to explore, learn and understand. https://lnkd.in/dp__hUTG Microsoft is doing a great job, of getting this content available for everyone to consume, yes this is corporate messaging, but the content and directions are valuable information for everyone.
