ABOUT THE SESSION

Do your Power BI reports place constant pressure on your production SQL Server? Are you struggling to deliver real-time analytics without overloading the systems your business depends on? This session is designed for data engineers, DBAs, Power BI developers, and architects who need a cleaner, safer way to serve analytics from operational databases.

We’ll explore how Mirroring in MS Fabric provides a low-impact, near real-time replication path from SQL Server to Fabric. By reading from the transaction log-rather than issuing endless SELECT queries-Fabric Mirroring keeps your production workloads running smoothly while making fresh data available for reporting in minutes.

You’ll learn how to:

– Identify when analytics workloads are hurting OLTP performance

– Set up and configure Mirroring for SQL Server

– Redirect Power BI reports to Fabric SQL endpoints with minimal changes

– Deliver real-time insights without compromising production stability

If you want faster reporting, happier DBAs, and a production database free to do what it does best, come and join Gethyn and David. By the end of this session, you’ll know exactly how Mirroring in Fabric can transform your data architecture and improve performance across your organisation.
