Post ProdigyHow implementing a data product/data mesh in Microsoft Fabric
Hi pmscorca
Several of Microsoft Fabric's features directly support the data product concept:
-
Unified Data Platform: Fabric brings together various data tools and technologies into a single platform. This simplifies data integration, management, and access for data professionals, allowing them to focus on building and refining data products .
-
Data Integration and Ingestion: Fabric excels at seamlessly integrating data from disparate sources. This is crucial for data products, which often rely on combining data from various internal and external sources to generate insights .
-
Data Governance and Security: Fabric offers robust security features and centralized governance policies. This ensures the data used in data products is secure, reliable, and adheres to organizational compliance standards.
-
Collaboration and Sharing: Fabric empowers teams to collaborate and share data easily. This fosters a collaborative environment for developing and refining data products.
-
Empowering Business Users: Fabric integrates with Microsoft 365, allowing business users to access and analyze data directly within their familiar applications. This broadens the potential user base for data products.
In summary, Microsoft Fabric's features streamline data access, management, security, and collaboration – all essential aspects of bringing data products to life.

I would presumably work through the governance hub in Fabric or opt for the richer governance experience provided with Azure Purview - allowing you to bundle assets (and not only Fabric Assets) logically into a data product, to make contextualized consumption easier for your organization.
