Scanning the skies above SQLBits - Realtime streaming of flight data with Microsoft Fabric

Using the real-time analytics capabilities of Microsoft Fabric we'll stream aircraft transponder data via a Raspberry PI and antenna into Microsoft Fabric. Through an end-to-end demo, we'll use Eventstream and KQL database to ingest the current locations of 100s of aircraft as they fly above the SQLBits venue. We'll then display and analyse these aircraft in Power BI, and use KQL DB's powerful spatial functions to determine the which parts of the area experience the most amount of air traffic.

Let's define Entities and attributes for tabular models in 20 minutes.

Examples from real-life projects that demonstrate the issue and improve the design of entities for the tabular models.
