The data runway: Soaring to New Heights with Fabric Data Activator
summary
Demonstrates Fabric Data Activator as a no-code midlayer that watches streaming sources and triggers actions; prototypes link Power BI visuals or an Azure Event Hub event stream to Teams/email or Power Automate. Uses Heathrow feed (~150 scheduled flights) and builds a live pipeline that surfaces 7 flights exceeding two‑hour delays, sends test Teams messages, and shows JSON schema, key columns, and summarization windows. Works but remains preview‑grade: limited targets, clunky Power Automate/custom actions, and occasional pipeline bugs—Power BI alerts are the easiest starting point.
