ABOUT THE SESSION
Direct Lake promises fast reports without data duplication, but many teams see unexpected fallbacks and slow queries. The root cause often isn’t the semantic model – it’s how the lakehouse tables were designed.
This session connects Delta table structure, partitioning, V-Order, and file layout to Direct Lake query behavior through live demos. You’ll learn which designs help performance, which cause silent degradation, and get a checklist for your own lakehouse.
