• The key differences between TiDB’s distributed SQL architecture and MySQL’s single-node system with compute and storage tightly coupled.
• How TiDB elastically scales out transactional applications with strong ACID consistency, eliminating downtime.
• The pros and cons of each database in terms of value proposition, scalability, and deployment options.
• Why innovative companies such as Databricks, Bolt, and Flipkart migrated from MySQL to TiDB.

May's #PBIMCR will feature Mark Endicott and Brian Bønk

Session 1 - Advanced Incremental refresh in Power BI - Mark Endicott

Incremental Refresh is nothing new in Power BI, and if you’ve got a large data model it can really help look after your Power BI environment. But what if your requirements for data refreshing are a bit more bespoke? What if you need to customise things a little bit? In this talk we’ll look at ways we can leverage the use of the XMLA Endpoint to implement Advanced Partitioning.

About Mark Mark has just over 8 years of experience in the world of data, choosing to hone his skillset in Data Visualisation, Modelling and all things Power BI, but he can also write a mean SQL query and can talk strategy & culture too. Mark’s experience was built up working in the Recruitment and Facilities Management industries, before moving into Consultancy just over 2 years ago, where he focuses on teaching best practice across both Modelling and Visualisation disciplines and delivering user centric, self-service Power BI deployments at an Enterprise and SME level.

Session 2 - The Kusto experience in Fabric - Brian Bønk Want to make a cutting edge data platform using Kusto in Fabric?

Then come along for a journey into the world and wonders of Kusto and the new Streamevent service in Fabric.

In this session I will guide you through the experience and close collaboration between Fabric and the Kusto database and querysets. Along with how to help Power BI get the most out of your Kusto database with small tweeks.

Springled with a bit of new magic in the Jupiter Notebooks for the Kusto language, we will also set a course towards how the data engineer can begin to leverage the Kusto service.

After watching this level 200 session I hope you'll have found inspiration to work with the Kusto service in Fabric and know how to give the Kusto engine the small push it needs to perform the best in close collaboration with Power BI.
