Hello Attiya
For example :
- Backend / Data Layer: Fabric can serve as a data source or data warehouse for your application
- Collect and transform data using Dataflows or Notebooks (PySpark).
- Store data in Lakehouse or Warehouse.
- Business Intelligence / Frontend:
- Create interactive dashboards with Power BI (integrated into Fabric).
- Expose reports via REST APIs or Embedded Analytics in your web app.
- Data Integration:
- Connect Fabric to SQL databases, APIs, CSV files, or cloud systems to centralize data
For the skills :
- Languages & Frameworks:
- Python (for Data Engineering and Data Science in Fabric).
- PySpark & Spark SQL (for data manipulation in Lakehouse).
- REST APIs (to integrate Fabric with your application).
- Data Concepts:
- ETL / ELT (Extract, Transform, Load).
- Data modeling (Star Schema, Lakehouse).
- Power BI:
- Building reports and dashboards.
- Publishing and embedding in apps.
- Cloud (SaaS), Security & Governance:
- Managing access, roles, and data privacy.
- Storage with OneLake
If this helps, feel free to give me a kudo and mark my answer as the solution.
Have a nice day,
Vivien
