Fast-Track Your Lakehouse Build with a Metadata Framework
Proposed session for SQLBits 2026TL; DR
Join this session to learn how to build a metadata-driven Lakehouse using Microsoft cloud technologies. Overcome data challenges, leverage automation, and achieve fast, efficient data platform delivery with minimal technical debt.
Session Details
In today’s data-driven world, fast and efficient data platform delivery is crucial for staying ahead of the competition. Join me for a dynamic session that demonstrates how to build a metadata-driven Lakehouse with Microsoft cloud native technologies. Using your preferred compute and storage resources, Azure Data Factory, Azure Databricks, Azure Synapse Analytics or Microsoft Fabric.
Discover how to simplify and overcome common obstacles such as fragmented data ingestion, change data capture, and orchestration scalability using proven best practices. Learn how to leverage automation, open-standards, and seamless cloud integration to accelerate time-to-insight with minimal technical debt. This session is perfect for techies and data leaders alike, seeking to streamline their cloud data platform delivery while maintaining cost control and operational resilience. In summary, unlock the potential to build a Lakehouse in a day by using an open-source metadata driven product accelerator.
