Hello,
currently we are using ADF with databricks unity catalog enabled
In fabric when I start usingthe data pipelines, datawarehouse, etc. is there an equivalent to databricks functionality with unity catalog enabled?
thank you

Hi arkiboys2 ,
Fabric offers a feature called Mirrored Azure Databricks Catalog that can serve as a replacement for Databricks Unity Catalog. This feature allows you to mirror your existing Azure Databricks Unity Catalog within Microsoft Fabric, enabling you to access and analyze your data without moving or duplicating it.
Detailed information can be found in the official documentation below:

Are you looking to build a new standalone data catalog in Fabric? then you choose Microsoft Purview.
If you want to migrate or mirror your existing azure databricks unity catalog tables into Fabric then you can create a mirror of your azure databricks env. please checkout the below blog

Hi arkiboys2 ,
Thanks for the reply from tharunkumarRTK .
I haven't actually worked with Unity Catalog, but I understand that it's like a “housekeeper” for your data. It helps unify the management and protection of data across different Databricks workspaces. It can be used to set who has access to what data, record who uses what data, and make it easy to find and label data.
In Fabric, you can use data pipelines and data warehouses to manage data workflows.
For more information you can refer to this document:
