Streaming dataset
Hello!
We dont have a Kafka cluster, unfortunately.
In the streaming dataset one does not need any Kafka cluster, I can just use the API details to push data to the model. Why has Microsoft made it so difficult for me to replicate this easy and simple functionality in Fabric?
What other methods in Fabric can I use to achieve the above?
Thanks.

Hello ollieftw,
Thanks for your input.
The best option to replicate your API push functionality without a Kafka cluster is the Custom App with Eventstream in Fabric. Because it provides an API-like endpoint (via a connection string) for your Databricks notebook to push data directly, like your streaming dataset, without needing external infrastructure. You can find official guidance in the Microsoft Fabric documentation here: Add a custom endpoint or custom app source to an eventstream - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn
