AI-assisted data engineering with Microsoft Fabric
It is time for yet another meetup! We are happy to invite you to another chapter in our Fabric journey, this time exploring the realm of agentic development in Microsoft Fabric. For this we are honored to welcome Wolfgang Strasser to the mix! It is going to get agentic. Stay tuned! Event Details 📅 Date: Thursday, 15th of October 2026, 6 p.m. 📍 Location: Microsoft Office, Hamburg (Axel-Springer-Platz 3, Hamburg) 🍴 Food and Drinks Provided Agenda 18:00 – Arrive, grab a drink, and find your spot 18:15 - Warm up session Speaker: Maria Mohr - Data & AI Engineer @ Obungi GmbH, Niels Siepe - Data Analytics Engineer @ Obungi GmbH 18:30 – AI-assisted data engineering in Microsoft Fabric - From Code Gen to Column-Level Impact Analysis Data pipelines ship faster than teams can document, test, or trace them. A column rename quietly breaks three dashboards. A schema drift silently poisons a semantic model. Sound familiar? This session puts AI to work on the problems data engineers actually lose sleep over - demonstrated live inside Microsoft Fabric with real Lakehouse pipelines, notebooks, and OneLake artifacts: Code generation: Convert requirements into Fabric notebooks and pipeline JSON using natural-language prompts. See what works, what needs guardrails, and where human review is non-negotiable. Living documentation: Auto-generate and continuously sync technical documentation from actual pipeline and notebook code - so docs never again drift from reality. Proactive data quality: Let AI inspect Delta table schemas and data distributions to propose validation rules, detect anomalies, and generate test cases - catching drift before it hits production. Lineage & impact analysis: Answer "What breaks if I change this column?" by tracing column-level lineage across Fabric pipelines, Spark notebooks, OneLake tables, semantic models, and Power BI reports - and visualize the blast radius before the change ships. What you'll take home: A practical toolkit: which AI capabilities (inside and outside Microsoft Fabric) are production-ready today and which ones to watch. Repeatable patterns for AI-maintained documentation and automated data-quality checks. An honest evaluation framework: where AI accelerates data engineering versus where it introduces new risks (and more work). See what was announced at FabCon Barcelona and how these features help us to even use more AI-assistance for our data engineering work. Speaker: Wolfgang Strasser - Microsoft Data Platform MVP (11 yrs) | I turn Microsoft Fabric from a licence line-item into a platform your business actually trusts. Data Consultant @ ACP CUBIDO 19:45 – Discussion & Drinks Engage with our speakers and participants in discussions while enjoying some refreshments.

Description Healthcare benefits data is one of the most underutilized strategic assets in enterprise organizations. Despite managing programs that generate millions of claims data points annually across medical, pharmacy, dental, and behavioral health lines, most organizations lack a unified data platform capable of turning this volume into usable intelligence. The result is siloed, reactive information that fails to inform the risk decisions driving organizational cost and employee outcomes, a challenge especially visible in large enterprises with significant annual financial exposure. This session presents a practical framework for building Enterprise Benefits Intelligence Platforms (EBIPs), scalable architectures that consolidate multi-source data from carriers, PBMs, TPA feeds, and eligibility systems into a single governed environment, dramatically reducing data latency versus siloed integrations. Attendees will explore how this foundation enables predictive risk stratification, utilization trending, and population health modeling, shifting organizations from reactive to proactive risk management, along with the governance models needed for HIPAA-compliant handling across complex vendor ecosystems. The session closes with decision intelligence layers that turn unified analytics into actionable dashboards for HR, Finance, and executive stakeholders. Attendees will leave with a replicable blueprint for modernizing benefits data infrastructure, drawn from real-world implementations.Fabric en Comunidad - Octubre 2025

AI features keep landing inside the Microsoft data platform — but the biggest productivity jump happens in your editor, not in the portal. In this demo-driven session I'll take one business request and build the solution end-to-end without leaving VS Code: exploring and refactoring T-SQL with the MSSQL extension and Copilot agent mode, scripting and deploying Fabric items with the Fabric CLI, editing semantic models as code with TMDL and PBIR, and generating DAX (including the new DAX user-defined functions) with AI assistance — all under source control with Git. Along the way I'll show where GitHub Copilot shines, where Claude does better, the prompting patterns that actually work for T-SQL, DAX and PySpark, and the guardrails you need so AI-generated code never reaches production unreviewed. Expect honest bloopers: you'll see where the AI gets it wrong and how to catch it. You'll leave with a setup checklist (extensions, MCP servers, repo layout), a set of reusable prompt patterns, and a practical decision guide for what to delegate to AI — and what not to.

Microsoft Fabric, Data & AI Community HyderabadProactive Data Quality Engineering for Microsoft Fabric Healthcare Data Pipelines
Description Modern healthcare organizations increasingly rely on Microsoft Fabric to unify data engineering, analytics, and reporting across cloud-native platforms. As Medicare datasets such as claims, eligibility, enrollment, and provider information traverse multiple ingestion, transformation, and analytics layers, maintaining data quality becomes essential for regulatory compliance, operational efficiency, and trusted decision-making. Traditional quality assurance approaches that validate data only after pipeline execution often identify defects too late, resulting in costly remediation and inconsistent analytical outcomes. This session presents a proactive data quality engineering framework designed for Microsoft Fabric environments, embedding validation throughout the end-to-end data lifecycle. The framework integrates source-level verification for schema conformity, completeness, and referential integrity; transformation-level validation for mapping accuracy, business rule enforcement, and aggregations within Data Factory and Synapse Data Engineering; and cross-layer reconciliation across OneLake and analytical datasets. By incorporating automated validation workflows into Fabric pipelines, organizations can detect anomalies earlier, improve traceability, and support continuous data quality monitoring at scale. The session also demonstrates how healthcare-specific validation rules can be aligned with Medicare business processes while leveraging Microsoft Fabric's unified architecture for orchestration and analytics. Attendees will gain practical guidance on implementing scalable validation strategies that enhance governance, strengthen compliance readiness, and establish reliable healthcare data pipelines capable of supporting high-quality analytics and business intelligence.
