🎤 Capacity Management in Fabric: Beyond the Basics

As organizations adopt Microsoft Fabric, capacity becomes one of the most important factors influencing performance, scalability, and cost. Yet it's often treated as an operational concern rather than a critical architectural decision.

In this session, Darren will go beyond the basics to uncover what really drives capacity consumption in Power BI and Microsoft Fabric. Through practical, real-world scenarios, you'll learn how semantic models, Direct Lake, refresh workloads, and query patterns interact, and why even well-designed solutions can still encounter performance challenges.

You'll discover:

✅ What actually drives capacity consumption in Fabric and Power BI
✅ How semantic models, Direct Lake, refreshes, and queries impact performance
✅ Common issues such as memory pressure, query queuing, and noisy neighbor effects
✅ The architectural decisions that influence capacity behavior
✅ How to choose the right capacity configuration for your workloads
✅ Using surge protection and capacity overage to handle demand spikes without sacrificing performance or increasing costs unnecessarily

By the end of the session, you'll have a practical understanding of how Fabric capacity behaves in the real world and how to design solutions that scale predictably under load.

If you're interested in Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, Capacity Management, Direct Lake, Performance Optimization, and Enterprise Analytics, this is a session you won't want to miss.
