Redmond to millions of Power BI users: You’re Fabric app devs now
Software giant expands audience for agent coding of data apps by an order of magnitude
Microsoft is expanding its data analytics and engineering environment to a larger customer base, aiming to leverage their usage of Power BI for building data applications on the Fabric platform. With over 425,000 customers worldwide, Power BI is a popular business intelligence system that Microsoft is now offering premium capabilities, including high-performance databases and app building tools, at no additional cost.
The company's executives argue that applications built using Fabric can be easily transferred to Power BI, and customers will receive a 1GB Fabric SQL database, authentication, and security features for their data applications. Microsoft plans to preview the new feature in the coming weeks, emphasizing the convergence of dashboards and apps in the data analytics landscape.
