I recently attended the Fabric Community Conference Europe 2024 in Stockholm, overall it was a really good conference and a great learning experience about all things Fabric. In particular I want to focus on my full day tutorial: Build A Fabric Real-Time Intelligence Solution in One Day, presented by Devang Shah, Matt Gordon and Johan Brattas.

As stated in the title, the day was all about real-time intelligence in Fabric and for someone who is new to real-time concepts and technologies, I found the session very informative and I feel as if I gained some very useful insights and tips in this area.

The session was led by Devang, but all the speakers did a very good job in the way the day was organised and the way the content was delivered. It was a very hands on session with enough supporting information to provide useful knowledge throughout. A tutorial was provided which users could follow at their own pace, the tutorial was very easy to follow and support was provided to overcome obstacles when required.

Although there was one particular hiccup which prevented the completion of the original tutorial, Devang and his team were quick to find a workaround so that users could complete the tutorial. Being able to follow the tutorial step by step and getting hands on experience with the different components of the Fabric’s Real-Time Intelligence was really valuable and I have learnt so much from the day. These are learnings I hope to apply to my everyday work very soon so the timing of the training day was perfect for me.

As mentioned at the start, the whole conference was very useful with a full range of sessions covering warehouses, lakehouses, security, of course real-time, and so much more! It was great to see so many updates and announcements on Fabric, and so much to take away!
