Decide on the fly: Real-Time Analytics in Microsoft Fabric

on YouTube ↗40m

" summary

Live demo of Microsoft Fabric wires Event Hubs to OneLake or a KQL database and builds semantic models that power Power BI dashboards with seconds‑level freshness. The team shows a Forms → Event Hub → Lakehouse → semantic model flow using Direct Lake mode (no duplicate imports) and a script → event stream → KQL DB → query set flow with Direct Query, plus a Data Activator rule that emails when a flight price drops below $50 or falls 50% — alerts fire in the demo. Notes about service limitations and fallback to Power BI Desktop are included.
