444: Mailbag! Optimal Power Bi Architecture in the Fabric Era

Jul 24th, 2025 10:58 AM

Mike & Tommy run through a GREAT question by one of our listeners on what to do with Power BI & Fabric development.In the Pre-Fabric era, as far as I know the most optimal architecture for dataset & report development was the following: 1, Collect data sources into Dataflows 2, Create shared datasets which load data from the Dataflows 3, Create reports built upon the shared datasets.In the Fabric era, how does the optimal architecture look like for dataset & report development? Is the Pre-Fabric architecture described above still the most optimal? If not, what's your idea on it? Power BI Desktop will remain the primary tool for dataset development or Power BI Service will take its place?Get in touch:Send in your questions or topics you want us to discuss by tweeting to @PowerBITips with the hashtag #empMailbag or submit on the PowerBI.tips Podcast Page.Visit PowerBI.tips: https://powerbi.tips/Watch the episodes live every Tuesday and Thursday morning at 730am CST on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/powerbitipsSubscribe on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/230fp78XmHHRXTiYICRLVvSubscribe on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/explicit-measures-podcast/id1568944083‎Check Out Community Jam: https://jam.powerbi.tipsFollow Mike: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelcarlo/Follow Seth: https://www.linkedin.com/in/seth-bauer/Follow Tommy: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tommypuglia/
