🎉Announcing the winner of the Fabric Extensibility Toolkit Contest

[slindsay]

Over the past few months, the Fabric community has been hard at work building, experimenting, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with the Fabric Extensibility Toolkit. Check out all of the submissions and see how you can use the Extensibility Tookit in your own work!

The goal of this contest was simple: build something meaningful. Something creative, something useful, something that shows what’s possible when the community leads the way.

We were blown away by the response — not just by the number of submissions, but by the quality of the ideas, the depth of Fabric integration, and the clear focus on real world problems.

After reviewing the submissions against the criteria we shared with participants:

• Creativity of the idea
• Integration with Fabric
• Value to customers
• Potential for reuse

We’re excited to announce both our contest winner and a Judges’ Favorite.

🏆 Contest Winner: Fabric Job Registry by @tayloramy 

Taylor's Fabric Job Registry stood out as a powerful example of how community-built extensibility can meaningfully improve the Fabric experience.

This submission tackles a challenge many Fabric users run into as their environments grow: managing jobs, schedules, and dependencies at scale. Instead of treating scheduling as something fragmented across individual items, Fabric Job Registry brings it together into a more centralized, visible, and manageable experience.

What impressed the judges most was how thoughtfully this solution:

• Leverages native Fabric APIs
• Addresses a real, common pain point
• Demonstrates strong potential for reuse across teams and workspaces

It’s a great example of a community solution that doesn’t just fill a gap — it helps point the way forward.

Congratulations to you, Taylor! The creator of Fabric Job Registry! 🎉 As the contest winner, you'll be receiving a FabCon ticket, and we’re excited to continue the conversation about where ideas like this can go next.

🌟 Judges’ Favorite: Fabric Lists by @_TJ 

While we could only select one overall winner, there was another submission that consistently sparked excitement and discussion during judging.

TJ's Fabric Lists earned the title of Judges’ Favorite for its practicality and approachability. Judge Kim Manis was particularly excited about this solution!

Inspired by the simplicity of list-based tools many teams already rely on, Fabric Lists brings a familiar, structured data-entry experience directly into Fabric — while still keeping the data accessible for analytics, pipelines, and downstream use.

The judges loved that this submission:

• Feels immediately useful
• Lowers friction for common data scenarios
• Fits naturally into real-world workflows

It’s a reminder that sometimes the most impactful ideas are the ones that make everyday work just a little easier.

A Huge Thank You to the Community 💙

Every submission in this contest reinforced something we already know to be true: the Fabric community is incredibly creative, thoughtful, and generous with their ideas. Whether you built a fully working workload, shared a bold concept, or experimented with something new — thank you for showing what’s possible when we build together.

This won’t be the last time we run a contest like this, and we’re excited to keep creating spaces where community ideas can shine.

Stay tuned — and congratulations again to our winner and Judges’ Favorite! 🚀
