554: Fabric as a Backend (FaaB)

from Explicit Measures Podcast Hosted by PowerBI.Tips

Mike & Tommy dive into the emerging pattern of Fabric as a Backend (FaaB), exploring whether Fabric is becoming the default way teams think about their entire data ecosystem or just a front-facing adoption tool. They weigh in on whether this pattern is a natural evolution of the platform or a case of forcing an analytics engine into an operational role — and what guardrails teams need before going all in.
