568 - The Fabric APIs shipped in the last month or two weren't written for you. They're built for an agent to scan and consume, same with the new Python library. Nothing stops you from using them as a human.

@powerbitips.bsky.social568 - Picture a small business loading data once a day. One pipeline into a lakehouse and you're done, so why pay for all of Fabric? A business team can get its own capacity instead of crowding the central F64.
@powerbitips.bsky.social568 - Microsoft shows up dead last to every category. Tableau landed first and everyone loved it, then Power BI came along cheaper and, my opinion, passed it. Fabric is running the same play.
@powerbitips.bsky.social568 - Ontology plus knowledge needs a better name, so I tried to coin one live and landed on chronology. Human knowledge wired into relationships between things. Tommy's verdict on the new word is rough.

@qimata.bsky.socialI'm speaking at M365 Community Days Atlanta on Nov 14. My session: AI Ready with Microsoft Fabric — getting data out of silos, under governance, and useful again. Register: eventbrite.com/e/m36... #M365ATL #MicrosoftFabric
@powerbitips.bsky.social568 - Fabric IQ is popping up everywhere and that makes me nervous. An API call costs nothing, but every trip through an agent burns compute units. Copilot's $30 per user pricing is gone too.

@powerbitips.bsky.social568 - Neither of us has touched the new ontology agent. So we want to open it cold on camera and struggle through it together, no prep, real reactions. Tell us in the comments if you want that one.
@powerbitips.bsky.social568 - Fabric ontology launched with two frustrations. Building anything in that front end was painful, and nobody could say what to do with the result. An agent just took over the manual part.
@powerbitips.bsky.social568 - With functions in Fabric apps you can wire up Venmo, PayPal, or Shopify and put a paywall on the thing. Whole businesses can sit on top of Fabric as the back end now.
@powerbitips.bsky.social568 - Fabric apps got a back end, a function, and a secret store. That means real API calls with real credentials, Salesforce or Foundry or anything else. I've waited on this one feature for a long time.
@powerbitips.bsky.social568 - The word ontology drives me nuts. Nobody knows what it means, and yet the information inside it genuinely matters. So the concept stays and the name has to go.
@gregdeckler.bsky.socialAnd here I thought Microsoft had learned its lesson about "random collection of stuff and call it a platform". Apparently not?

@powerbitips.bsky.social568 - Fabric ontology isn't a green grass plain anymore. There are clay dirt roads starting to form, and they don't lead anywhere yet. The marks point somewhere.
@powerbitips.bsky.social568 - My whole app-buying strategy is one question now. If the data doesn't land in Fabric somehow, I'm already losing interest. The back end decides it.
@purplefrogdata.bsky.socialA Fabric pipeline finishing doesn't necessarily tell you what happened inside it.
In our latest Frog Blog, Jeet shows how to trigger a pipeline from a notebook and monitor it at the activity level to catch failures properly🐸

@powerbitips.bsky.social567 - Agents are shockingly good at copying a pattern, even when the problem isn't identical. Point one at a notebook you already like before asking for a brand new one.
@purplefrogdata.bsky.socialMicrosoft Fabric might be the next step. But is it the right next step for you? 👀
