Better database option for bigger data for PowerBI

Hi JustinDoh1 ,
Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community.
Thank you Deku for the prompt response.
As mentioned by Deku , you can use data warehouse and lakehouse in Microsoft Fabrics.
You can start with F2 or F4 capacities, and auto-pause and resume features save money during low activity.
Migrate reporting datasets to Fabric Warehouse or Lakehouse.
I recommend reviewing the documentation below:

Hi JustinDoh1 ,
Microsoft typically offers a free trial that provides access to the services, including features for data storage, processing, and analytics. The free trial gives you a certain amount of capacity, allowing you to explore and test out various features without incurring any costs upfront
You can check the fabric capacity pricing below . You can start with F2 capacity for doing more analysis if required.

A data warehouse is ideal for structured, cleaned data where fast queries and analytics are needed.
A data lakehouse is better when you want to mix raw and structured data for large-scale analytics.If this post helps, then please consider Accepting as solution to help the other members find it more quickly, don't forget to give a "Kudos" – I’d truly appreciate it!
Thank you!!
Why do you need a transactional database, a warehouse or lakehouse would be preferred for analytical workloads. Something like fabric or databricks
Cosmos would not be well suited, I doubt you need the redundancy, high availability etc conferred by it
