PBI Service as Storage
Hi,
I dont have a storage environment to service complex support queries, i have 3 Read replica RDS and S3 API gateway (all WIP)
But i need to write queries across all my source architectures.
Can i via desktop publish all the source tables to PBI service as datasets and then use dbeaver/pbi desktop to connect?
Any ideas, i dont have fabric or anything. Maybe that DB for azure apps
Regards
Philosophically Power BI is a downstream system, It does not guarantee any reliable storage. It is based on a "Flush and Fill" methodology. Fabric changes that equation, but only a little bit.
Don't base your storage strategy on Power BI or Fabric. Use proper dedicated storage systems as your upstream source.
