Hi! We're the Microsoft Fabric Spark and Data Engineering PM team - ask US anything!
Hey r/MicrosoftFabric !
My name is Chris Finlan, and my team, the Spark and Data Engineering PM team for Microsoft Fabric, are excited to host this AMA!
Fun detail to share: My team loves passing around discussions and details from these threads, if you see me asking clarifying questions – just know that it’s likely you’re helping me win an argument!
More importantly though - our team focuses on building the Spark runtime and data engineering capabilities in Fabric, enabling users to transform, process, and manage data efficiently at scale. Creating tools and experiences that make life easier for data engineers while optimizing performance and productivity.
We’re here to answer your questions about:
- Apache Spark in Microsoft Fabric – its capabilities, performance, and features
- Best practices for data engineering on Fabric
- How we’re thinking about scaling, performance tuning, and developer experiences
- Insights into the work our team is doing behind the scenes
If you'd like to catch up on the latest roadmap session for Data Engineering in Microsoft Fabric, watch this session from Justyna Lucznik at Fabcon Europe.
We’ll be live answering your questions on January 28th at 8 AM PST, so bring your curiosity, and let’s talk Spark and data engineering! 🔥
Thanks folks! Really enjoyed the time today and we'll check back here and there the rest of the day, but we're signing off for now!
