Datamart... Synapse Component or Power BI Component?

jaweher899 Thanks for the information.  I had googled for a long time, and came up with little information about the "Synapse" variety of a datamart.

The article which I linked (ᴋʏʟᴇ ᴋᴏʀᴋʀɪᴅ's) seemed to imply that one or the other of these tools would be the winner  - not both.

If you take your second paragraph (or even the third) and replace the words "Synapse" with "Power BI", then most of it would still be true.  Don't get me wrong, I'm much more interested in building my big-data-assets *OUTSIDE* of Power BI .  And I do understand the difference between the types of "citizen developer" offerings in Power BI, and the platform offerings in the Azure cloud.  But it's still confusing thing to name both of these products "datamart", especially when *BOTH* of these are likely to be used as data sources for Power BI reports. 

Many people who work with big data would say that the term "datamart" was already overloaded - even before Power BI and Synapase.  It is often a buzz-word used by management ("pointy haired bosses"), and it means whatever they want it to mean.  I started to feel a bit sick when Power BI started using this term for their SQL storage ... since certain managers might begin asking their developers to "lift-and-shift" all of their Synapse Analytics assets out to the Power BI datamarts. That is a scary prospect.

Going forward, if *BOTH* of these products have a component called "datamart" then it might help generate enough confusion to encourage management to actually learn the difference (and make a better selection).  Perhaps that is the intention here? 

Can you please share a couple of your best links where we can learn more about the "Synapse Datamart"?  As-of now this thread of ours is already the top-most result on my google searches.  People may use this as an avenue to look for additional information...
