Warehouse Snapshots are now GA in Microsoft Fabric โ and there's more to them than meets the eye.
In my latest video I walk through:
๐ What snapshots are and how they work
๐ How to roll them forward to a new point in time โ instantly, no latency
๐ A moving window strategy for period-over-period analysis
๐ The hidden cost: each period you want to analyze needs its own snapshot AND its own copy of the report pointing to it โ that multiplies fast
๐ When SCD Type 2 and proper modelling is the smarter long-term choice โ one report, one data source, no copies
๐ And when snapshots are actually the easier, perfectly valid solution
Knowing the trade-offs is what separates a quick win from a long-term headache.
