Microsoft Fabric
Also written as MS Fabric, OneLake, Fabric Lakehouse
Microsoft's all-in-one analytics platform, launched in 2023. It puts data pipelines, a lakehouse and warehouse, Spark notebooks and Power BI into one product with shared storage called OneLake. It largely succeeds Azure Synapse Analytics, so many Azure data teams are now migrating to it.
Think of it like
A department store that put the separate shops you used to visit under one roof, with one checkout.
Junior or senior?
Young, so nobody has many years of it: a JD asking for 3+ years really means Synapse, Data Factory or Power BI experience.
Senior sounds like
Has migrated an existing Synapse or Power BI setup and can talk about capacity planning and cost.
Ask them
“What were you moving to Fabric from, and what turned out harder than expected?”
