Exploring Power BI Architecture and Configuration
In the previous chapter, we established guidelines for setting reasonable performance targets and gained an understanding of the major solution areas and Power BI components that should be considered for holistic performance management.
In this chapter, we will dig deeper into specific architectural choices, learning how and why these decisions affect your solution’s performance. You will learn to consider broad requirements and make informed decisions to design a solution that meets the needs of different stakeholders. Ultimately, this chapter will help you choose the best components to host your data within Power BI. We will focus mainly on the efficient movement of data from the source system to end users by improving data throughput and minimizing latency.
We will begin by looking at data storage modes for the tabular engine and how data reaches the Power BI dataset. We will cover how to best deploy Power BI gateways...
