Real world PowerBI

" summary

Power BI gets business users to build and maintain reports so development stops absorbing endless reporting backlog, using Power BI Desktop + Service, data catalog and custom Power Query connectors that wrap OAuth and API pagination. Demos use AdventureWorks and a GitHub connector (works but connectors currently install via users Documents folder). Use DirectQuery where possible, publish as Power BI apps or embed via the embed API, automate PBIX publish with the REST API and schedule refreshes.
