#DataFlows
I’m becoming very convinced of is that people in ‘tech’ (the subculture of social media, SaaS, etc, not technology in general) are so used to a particular kind of mostly world of bits dataflows that they massively underestimate the difficulty of world of atoms data generating processes.

NEW BLOG POST!

Dataflows were (rightly?) considered "the slowest and least performant option" for ingesting data into #PowerBI #MicrosoftFabric. However, things are changing rapidly, and the latest DF enhancements may change the way we play the game.

I see a new destination for Dataflows Gen2 in Fabric! #SharePoint destination is in preview! This opens up so many possibilities for business applications! You can save your prepared and transformed data in CSV or Excel file formats. #MicrosoftFabric #DataFactory #Dataflows

It's not looking good for dataflows, folks. #MicrosoftFabric

And then there's the fact that I'm actually working on something probably-novel. No LLM has been trained in relation to MSE-interception-based video download dataflows, because they don't exist yet.

Create Generic Dataflows in Fabric and deployment pipelines
When you implement multiple workspaces to support Development, Test, UAT and Production with Dataflows in Fabric then it is critical to make sure that you create generic Dataflows. Generic dataflows make it easy to deploy your dataflows between the various environments using deployment pipelines. Dataflows There are a few elements within dataflows that could become a challenge when we deploy our Gen2 Dataflows.

Are you using Power Platform Dataflows still? I was, too, but it's time to figure out an alternative - instead of wishing they'd ever become governable, nor support proper ALM.

Another dead feature in Microsoft's "evergreen" cloud.🪦

I see dead features, part 2: Dataflows
Power Platform Dataflows were never deprecated, but they were never really finished either. As Fabric moves on, they are getting left behind.

Fun dataflow news: prompted initially by @oliwessels.bsky.social, we've finally merged changes into dataflows timely and differential that allow programs that use them to be built into WASM, and run in the browser.

The UI for Gen 3 dataflows looks SICK. Full MS access, Excel, and email support DAY 1 🚀. Thanks for showing it off, Donald Parish .

We did it! @powerbidude.bsky.social and I took 400+ people on transformative journey from data analyst to data engineer, by transitioning from Dataflows Gen2 to notebooks.

Many great questions and interaction with the audience - thank you everyone for joining!

When you are putting together a #Dataflows demo in #MicrosoftFabric and are used to seeing the staging artifacts. Then suddenly this morning they disappear from every workspace. BAM! I guess a change just rolled out. Power of the cloud!!! 😎
