Fusionsol held an event about Modern Data Architecture: From Lakehouse to Warehouse

On March 25, 2025, Fusionsol, in collaboration with Microsoft, hosted an exclusive workshop titled “Modern Data Architecture with Microsoft Fabric: From Lakehouse to Warehouse.” The event, held at the Microsoft Thailand Office, provided in-depth insights into data architecture, ingestion, and warehousing using Microsoft Fabric.

The Evolution of Data Architecture

The workshop aimed to address the growing need for efficient and scalable data management. Organizations today handle vast amounts of structured and unstructured data, making it essential to adopt modern architectures that enhance data processing and analytics.

The session focused on Microsoft Fabric, a unified platform that combines Lakehouse and Data Warehouse capabilities to streamline data storage, ingestion, and analytics.

Key Highlights from the Workshop

Understanding the Lakehouse Model

The session began with an introduction to the Lakehouse concept, which merges the best features of Data Lakes and Data Warehouses. Key topics included:

• What is a Lakehouse? An overview of how Lakehouse architecture bridges the gap between raw data storage and structured data analytics.

• End-to-End Architecture: A deep dive into the structural design and operational framework of the Lakehouse model.

• Tools and Techniques: An exploration of the various tools available for data transformation, analytics, and optimization within a Lakehouse.

Data Ingestion and Processing

Efficient data ingestion is a critical component of modern data management. The session provided practical insights into:

• Azure Data Pipeline: How businesses can use Azure Data Pipelines to automate data workflows.

• Dataflow Gen2 in Microsoft Fabric: Demonstration of how this tool simplifies data ingestion processes.

• Integration Strategies: Techniques for integrating Dataflow Gen2 with Azure Pipelines to ensure seamless data movement and transformation.

Data Warehousing in Microsoft Fabric

The workshop also covered Data Warehousing within Microsoft Fabric, helping businesses make informed decisions regarding data storage and analytics. The topics discussed included:

• Fabric Warehouses: Understanding how Microsoft Fabric supports enterprise-grade data warehousing.

• Choosing Between a Warehouse and a Lakehouse: Key considerations for selecting the right architecture based on business needs.

• Ingesting Data into a Data Warehouse: Best practices for efficiently loading and managing data within a Microsoft Fabric-powered Data Warehouse.
