How does Microsoft Fabric work? 

Fabric has integrated generative artificial intelligence, Copilot, which promotes employee interaction with the platform and its components. The biggest change this platform can bring to a company is the ease with which data can be collected, organized, managed, shared, and analyzed from OneLake - a single, united, and logical data lake for the entire organization - which works in a similar way to OneDrive. In this way, OneLake supports the needs of all teams, allowing them to share a single copy of data, according to their needs and functions. 

Microsoft Fabric components

Microsoft Fabric currently has seven components: 

• Power BI – a Business Intelligence tool that allows you to find information, monitor progress, and helps you make decisions faster; 
• Data Factory – which solves more complex data integration and ETL scenarios with data movement and data transformation services at the cloud scale; 
• Data Activator – monitors data to trigger alerts and automated actions so that the company can adapt to changes in real-time; 
• Synapse Data Engineering – creates a lakehouse and uses Apache Spark to transform and prepare organizational data to be shared with the company; 
• Synapse Data Science – explores your data and creates machine learning models to provide predictive information in your analysis solutions and applications; 
• Synapse Data Warehouse – increases the verticality of information by storing and analyzing data in a secure SQL warehouse and open data format with improved performance at petabyte scale; 
• Synapse Real-Time Analytics – enables rapid transformation and consultation of any data source and format, as well as visualizing and sharing information.
