Fabric Jumpstart is a unified catalog of high-quality demos, tutorials, and accelerators built for Microsoft Fabric.
Fabric Jumpstart is designed to help users go from zero to experiencing the full power of Microsoft Fabric in minutes.
Instead of stitching together samples or searching across repos, you can start with real, ready-to-run solutions designed to show how Fabric works in practice.

Why Fabric Jumpstart?
Getting started with a modern data platform often means building everything from scratch.
You may want to:
- Explore a complex analytics scenario
- Learn how Fabric workloads connect together
- Demonstrate capabilities to stakeholders
- Accelerate a proof-of-concept
- Understand best practices through working examples
But building end-to-end solutions from scratch can take significant time and effort.
Fabric Jumpstart changes that by providing complete, working solutions you can deploy and explore right away.
One place for Fabric solutions
Fabric Jumpstart provides a single destination to discover:
- End-to-end accelerators
- Interactive tutorials
- Instant demos
- Open-source community solutions
- Real-world reference architectures
Everything is organized into a searchable catalog, and solutions can be installed with a single line of Python code.
Whether you are a data engineer, analyst, developer, architect, student, or enterprise team, Fabric Jumpstart helps accelerate the path from learning to building.
Three types of Jumpstarts
Accelerators
Accelerators are fully built, end-to-end solutions that enable faster time-to-market for common patterns and use cases.
These solutions may include:
- Monitoring extensions
- Data processing frameworks
- Operational intelligence patterns
Accelerators are designed to provide a pluggable starting place to accelerate production implementations.
Tutorials
Tutorials provide guided, hands-on learning experiences.
Rather than reading documentation alone, users can actively build and explore solutions directly inside Fabric.
Tutorials focus on helping users understand:
- Platform concepts
- Data engineering workflows
- Analytics patterns
- Common architectures
- Best practices
Demos
Demos provide lightweight, rapid experiences that can be deployed and explored in minutes.
These are ideal for:
- Quick evaluations
- Capability exploration
- Internal showcases
- Executive demonstrations
Core and community Jumpstarts
Fabric Jumpstart supports both officially sponsored and community-driven innovation.
Core Jumpstarts
Core Jumpstarts are Microsoft-sponsored solutions designed to provide high-quality, validated experiences.
These solutions align with:
- Recommended practices
- Platform guidance
- Reliability expectations
- Ongoing platform evolution
Community Jumpstarts
Community Jumpstarts enable open-source contributions and broader ecosystem innovation.
This allows partners, customers, and community members to share:
- Industry solutions
- Custom architectures
- Educational content
- Experimental workloads
Fabric Jumpstart goes beyond a catalog. It brings together both Microsoft and community-built solutions in one place.
From examples to real scenarios
With a single command, you can deploy real-world scenarios such as a real-time healthcare billing system; a stateful streaming lakehouse for industrial sales and logistics; or platform monitoring capabilities. With Fabric Jumpstart, you are just minutes away from seeing best practice reference implementations, learning new concepts, and accelerating your Fabric journey.
!pip install fabric-jumpstart -q
import fabric_jumpstart as jumpstart
jumpstart.install("healthcare-billing-system")Next steps
