Session Abstract

You've heard about the Direct Lake mode in Microsoft Fabric, and, as a Power BI professional, you are curious to learn what all the fuss is about and how you can leverage this groundbreaking feature in reallife scenarios. How does Direct Lake work under the hood? Is it a replacement for the Import and DirectQuery mode? When and why to use Direct Lake over Import mode? These are just some of the questions that we are going to address in this demopacked session.

We will dive deep into Direct Lake's architecture, explain its core concepts, and put it in the ultimate 1:1 comparison with the Import mode! We'll examine various concepts and features that are exclusively relevant to Direct Lake, such as how to refresh the data in Direct Lake models, why some columns are hot and some others are not, and many more...

By the end of this session, you'll get not only a deep understanding of Direct Lake internals, but also learn in which scenarios to choose the "Direct Lake path".
