One of the biggest impact things you can do for your career is to meet people in real life working in our wonderful niche! Last year, for me, that was at the UK leading Microsoft data platform conference - SQLBits 2024. I met so many great people all working on similar problems with similar levels of passion - people I still talk with regularly - those bonds you form in real life are much stronger than online! So it gives me great pleasure to reveal they've asked me back to speak again at SQLBits London 2025 this year. I'll be delivering a full training day on one of my favourite topics: data engineering and the DP-700! The seats are already fully booked for that session, but you can add your name to the waitlist, and hopefully they'll add more seats! I'll be around all week to meet people, watch great talks, and enjoy the vibe! If you'll be there too, let me know! So if you've seen all the recent Microsoft/ Fabric conferences happening around the world - and got serious conference FOMO - this is a great opportunity to come and network with and learn from fellow Fabricators, MVPs, & Microsoft employees! To learn more and to book tickets to this amazing conference (in one of the best cities in the world, and my hometown!), check out my page here, and 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗕𝗶𝘁𝘀𝟮𝟱 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁!!

Hey everyone, there is another (unofficial) Microsoft project just released which unifies a lot of Fabric Monitoring datasets into one Lakehouse, and a report. It's called FUAM - Fabric Unified Admin Monitoring. You can watch a demo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmHMOsQcMGI You can check out the GitHub repo here: https://github.com/microsoft/fabric-toolbox/tree/main/monitoring/fabric-unified-admin-monitoring FUAM extracts the following data from the tenant: - Tenant Settings - Delegated Tenant Settings - Activities - Workspaces - Capacities - Capacity Metrics - Tenant meta data (Scanner API) - Capacity Refreshables - Git Connections - Engine level insights (coming soon in optimization module) What do you think? Something you might find helpful in your organization?
