Microsoft Fabric

Microsoft Fabric Development & Migration

PixoBots implements Microsoft Fabric - OneLake, lakehouses, warehouses, Data Factory pipelines and Power BI - as one governed analytics platform, built by dedicated data engineers who work with AI tools. AI speeds up the pipeline boilerplate, T-SQL rewrites and data-mapping documentation when Synapse, Power BI Premium or SQL Server workloads move into Fabric; a developer reviews every change, and the numbers are reconciled before anything is switched off.

What we deliver

Assess the estate

We catalogue pipelines, Spark notebooks, SQL pools, semantic models and reports, then map each to its Fabric equivalent and size the capacity it needs.

Design OneLake

Workspaces, domains and a bronze-silver-gold lakehouse layout, with shortcuts to data that should stay where it is rather than being copied.

Migrate in stages

AI tools draft the pipeline ports and reconciliation tests, developers review them, and each workload runs in parallel with the old platform and is reconciled row by row before cut-over.

Enable the business

Governed semantic models, Power BI reports on Direct Lake and clear ownership, so self-service does not turn into fifty versions of revenue.

What Microsoft Fabric changes

Fabric brings data integration, data engineering, warehousing, real-time analytics and Power BI into one SaaS product billed through a shared capacity. Everything stores its tables in OneLake in the open Delta Parquet format, so a lakehouse built by engineers in Spark can be queried by analysts in T-SQL and read by Power BI without another copy being made.

That single storage layer is the real benefit. Most analytics estates spend effort moving the same data between a lake, a warehouse and BI extracts; in Fabric, shortcuts and mirroring let you reference data in Azure Data Lake Storage, Amazon S3 or supported operational databases instead of building another pipeline to copy it.

Migrating from Synapse, Power BI Premium and legacy warehouses

Azure Synapse Analytics remains a supported service, but Microsoft's new analytics investment is going into Fabric. Synapse pipelines map closely to Fabric Data Factory, Spark notebooks usually port with modest change, and dedicated SQL pool schemas move to the Fabric warehouse after a review of unsupported T-SQL features.

For Power BI customers the move is often driven by licensing: Microsoft is retiring Power BI Premium per-capacity SKUs in favour of Fabric capacities, so many organisations are on Fabric already without using more than reports. Older SQL Server or on-premises warehouses follow the same staged pattern - land raw data in a lakehouse, rebuild transformations, reconcile, then retire.

Fabric or Databricks?

Both are lakehouses on Delta tables. Fabric suits organisations standardised on Microsoft 365, Entra ID and Power BI that want a managed SaaS experience; Databricks suits engineering-heavy teams, multi-cloud estates and advanced ML. We help you choose based on your skills and workloads, and the two can share data through OneLake shortcuts.

Frequently asked questions

What is Microsoft Fabric? expand_more
Microsoft Fabric is Microsoft's SaaS analytics platform that combines data integration, data engineering, warehousing, real-time analytics and Power BI over a single data lake called OneLake. All workloads share one capacity and one copy of the data in open Delta Parquet format.
Should we migrate from Azure Synapse to Fabric? expand_more
If you are planning new analytics work on Microsoft, Fabric is usually the better long-term home, because that is where Microsoft is investing. Synapse is still supported, so a well-running Synapse estate can migrate in planned stages rather than in a rush.
Do we need Fabric if we only use Power BI? expand_more
Not necessarily for new features, but your licensing may push you there: Power BI Premium per-capacity SKUs are being replaced by Fabric capacities. Once you have a Fabric capacity, adding a lakehouse or Direct Lake models is a small step that can remove refresh bottlenecks.
How long does a Fabric implementation take? expand_more
A first lakehouse with a few governed Power BI models can be live in weeks; migrating a full Synapse or SQL Server warehouse estate typically takes a few months. We deliver in stages, so each domain is usable as soon as it is reconciled.
Can Fabric work with data outside Azure? expand_more
Yes. OneLake shortcuts can reference data in Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage and other sources without copying it, and mirroring can replicate supported databases, including Snowflake, into OneLake in near real time.
