Hello Power BI Community,
I'm currently delving into the infrastructure and deployment aspects of Power BI compared to Tableau. Specifically, I'm interested in understanding the differences between Tableau's server setup and Power BI's server setup in terms of performance and scalability. Can anyone provide insights or share experiences regarding this topic?
Your expertise would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
