I’ve been following Microsoft Build online this week, and I’m particularly excited to watch a couple people I admire deliver the Closing Session 22 May 2025 at 11:30 AM PT – Scott Hanselman and Mark Russinovich. If you are unable to attend Build in person, you can register to attend many sessions online – for free. In the past, recordings have been available for some time after the official conference ends, so if you’re reading this after 22 May 2025 (the day it is being written!), you may still want to check out the Build website.
Three Important Microsoft Fabric Links
With all the announcements rolling out of Seattle this week, you might be asking yourself, “Self, how am I supposed to keep up with all the Fabric news?” Here are three links to help!
Microsoft Fabric Blog
Microsoft Fabric Blog is updated every 1-2 weeks with news and information targeted for enterprise strategists. Posts include case study summaries and product announcements. Microsoft Fabric Blog is a great way to keep up with new features and use cases.
Microsoft Fabric Updates Blog
Microsoft Fabric Updates Blog is updated more frequently with new posts arriving several times per week. During conferences, it’s common to see several new posts in a single day! The target audience ranges from enterprise strategists to practitioners as the content is mostly geared towards application (there is often code included). Microsoft Fabric Updates Blog is a great way to keep up with how to apply new features.
Fabric Roadmap
The (newly redesigned) Fabric Roadmap may be my favorite Fabric site.
I admire the transparency represented in the presentation. Sometimes, feature delivery dates slip. When that happens, Fabric Roadmap continues to display the previously-estimated delivery quarter – unless the delivery date is pushed farther into the future, in which case the delivery estimate is revised. I’ve even seen features removed from the list as a delivery estimate is not available for some time. As I said, transparency.
Fabric is constantly updated. New features are planned and delivery estimates are shared by capacity (I frequently check the Data Factory, Data Warehouse, and Data Science topics). Fabric Roadmap is a great resource for planning enterprise development.
Conclusion
I find these three sites – Microsoft Fabric Blog, Microsoft Fabric Updates Blog, and Fabric Roadmap – helpful in keeping up with the evolving nature of Microsoft Fabric. I hope you find them useful as well!
