Great article, though MS would argue their data layer is open(ish) to others by adopting Delta Lake across all/most of Fabric, which is most exciting feature to me.
I do wonder how it all cost to use in the real world, as it looks this isn't a pay as you go model and I feel Azure is the worst offender for cloud costs spiralling out of control by putting often essential features in its enterprise tier.
I'm not saying I have built the potato, but I'm not, not saying it either.
I'm at least attempting to build it and it feels like I have the right ingredients: table storage (the gravitational mass), open catalog interface (easy way to connect appendages and facial features), central governance to make sure it all works together in practice for businesses.
Benn I would love your take on what you think the critical potato elements are?
Microsoft is saying all the right things and you're right about their likely path to having a large slice of the market. This is certainly a conceptual improvement over Synapse.
I'm skeptical that anyone else has the chops or desire to go head-to-head. Oracle can, but so many people dislike how they go to market. Google doesn't seem to understand how to bring products to market - one trick pony.
Snowflake would be a good candidate to build an all encompassing platform around their core, but that doesn't seem to be how they think.
Benn maybe I’ve missed it but surely you could market Google fabric with BigQuery, Datastudio, Looker whatever, Colab, Dataform, etc
AWS equally but even less elegantly, but they’ve pushed out Glue, among others.
Frankly my experience with Sharepoint leaves me ice cold with this launch, Microsoft cannot build decent products if Sharepoint (a core product) is so ridiculously bad.
AWS at least are consistent with their unique flavour of industrial, but Google has the best UX of the 3 and so I don’t really see what this is other than marketing.

this one’s a banger, Benn 🥔💥

What?! They didn't call it IBM® ILOG® CPLEX® Optimization Studio Cloud Pak for Optimization?
