Microsoft is bringing even more database options into the Microsoft Fabric fold, alongside a series of initiatives that aim to help tackle enterprise data complexity.
For literally generations of databases, compute and storage were always tightly coupled. That caused all kinds of scalability and data silo issues for enterprises. In 2023, Microsoft Fabric was first introduced as a strategy to help overcome that challenge. The basic idea behind Microsoft Fabric is to be a common data layer across Microsoft's data and analytics tools. In November 2024, Microsoft Fabric expanded with support for the Azure SQL transactional database platform.
