Mathias Thierbach is a Data Platform MVP and the developer of the pbi-tools open-source project, known for his critical role in creating and advocating for the Tabular Model Definition Language (TMDL) in Power BI. TMDL is a community-driven format for defining Power BI semantic models, enabling code-first development, source control, and CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) workflows for professional Power BI developers.

Git Workflows for Fabric and Power BI Projects Speaker: Mathias Thierbach, Microsoft Data Platform MVP After last week's conceptual session about branching strategies and git development workflows, this week Mathias will present an opinionated practical workflow for collaborative Fabric development, incorporating core DevOps principles. Expect lots of demos. Join the session for some guaranteed practical take-aways for you and your team!

Version control is essential for modern analytics development—but how does Git fit into the world of Power BI and Microsoft Fabric? This session demystifies Git workflows and shows how they can bring structure, collaboration, and CI/CD capabilities to your Fabric and Power BI projects. We'll explore common branching strategies such as trunk-based development, GitHub flow, and feature branch flow, and demonstrate how these approaches can be applied in practice. Whether you're just getting started with Git or looking to refine your workflow, you'll leave with actionable insights and a practical foundation to manage analytics development like a pro. Mathias is a Data Platform MVP who is passionate about modern DevOps and DataOps principles and practices for Microsoft's data analytics stack. His open-source project pbi-tools pioneered source control and CI/CD for Power BI solutions, and ultimately led to Microsoft's release of the Power BI Project (PBIP) format. Furthermore, Mathias contributed the TMDL format which is now the de-facto standard for developing and maintaining Fabric semantic models.

Description:

In this session, we’ll explore the powerful concept of Git branching and how it can elevate your development processes within Microsoft Fabric and Power BI projects.

We'll start by introducing the fundamentals of Git branching, highlighting how it enhances collaboration, improves quality control, and enables versioning in professional development environments. You’ll learn why branches are essential for any development team aiming to streamline workflows and maintain project stability.

Next, we’ll take a closer look at Fabric’s branching capabilities, specifically the "branch-out" feature. We’ll dive into its strengths, where it simplifies your workflow, and where additional steps or workarounds may be necessary to achieve optimal results. By understanding these nuances, you’ll be better equipped to make the most of Fabric’s tooling in your own projects.

Finally, we’ll explore branching in the context of various industry-standard Git workflows. Whether you’re familiar with Git Flow, GitHub Flow, or other branching strategies, you’ll see how these practices apply to Fabric and Power BI projects. We'll tie it all together with practical examples, helping you understand how different development flows function in real-world scenarios, and how to choose the right strategy for your team’s needs.

By the end of this talk, you’ll have a clear understanding of how Git branches can transform your development processes in Fabric and Power BI, along with actionable insights on how to implement them in your day-to-day workflows.

===============================================================

At the end of the Meetup we'll have a Raffle with prizes offered by Enterprise DNA: 2 (two) 1 year FREE Membership Licenses on EDNA Platform for two lucky winners from the Live attendees !

Join us as we share our journey of migrating from dbt Core to dbt Cloud. We'll discuss why we made this shift – focusing on security, ownership, and standardization. Starting with separate team-based projects on dbt Core, we moved towards a unified structure, and eventually embraced dbt Cloud. Now, all teams follow a common structure and standardized requirements, ensuring better security and collaboration.

In our session, we'll explore how we improved our data analytics processes by migrating from dbt Core to dbt Cloud. Initially, each team had its way of working on dbt Core, leading to security risks and inconsistent practices. To address this, we transitioned to a more unified approach on dbt Core. This year we migrated dbt Cloud, which allowed us to centralize our data analytics workflows, enhancing security and promoting collaboration.

For scheduling we manage our own Airflow instance using AWS EKS. We use Datahub as data catalog.

Key points: Enhanced Security: dbt Cloud provided robust security features, helping us safeguard our data pipelines. Ownership and Collaboration: With dbt Cloud, teams took ownership of their projects while collaborating more effectively. Standardization: We enforced standardized requirements across all projects, ensuring consistency and efficiency, using dbt-project-evaluator.
