Data engineering work has long grappled with the challenge of minimizing data replication. While the introduction of delta lake and underlying delta tables has improved matters, not everyone fully grasps their potential. However, Microsoft Fabric simplifies adoption of the concept of a unified data lake. While reading few chapters of This book, I strongly felt that this not only offers a step-by-step guide to using Microsoft Fabric but also dispels many misconceptions surrounding the topic.
