Modern Data Ingestion Without Pipeline Sprawl
Most enterprise data environments are full of pipelines that were built to solve an urgent need at the time. Over the years those pipelines become expensive to run, difficult to maintain, and risky to change. Every new source adds more of them, and data teams spend a large share of the week keeping the plumbing alive rather than delivering insight.
Microsoft Fabric offers a simpler pattern. With OneLake, Shortcuts, Delta tables, and Shortcut Transformations, teams can connect to data where it already lives, reduce duplication, and ingest common formats without writing pipeline code. The point is not to remove pipelines everywhere. It is to use them only where they earn their place and let native Fabric capabilities handle the rest.
In this webinar, Royal Cyber will walk through practical Zero-ETL scenarios in Fabric: when to use Shortcuts, when a pipeline still makes sense, and how Shortcut Transformations auto-ingest CSV, Parquet, and JSON into Delta tables while staying in sync. We will close with how our Fabric Performance Optimization Assessment identifies quick wins in an existing environment.
- The old way: a pipeline for every source, and what it costs
- Zero-ETL in Fabric: what it means in practice
- Shortcut Transformations and OneLake ingestion patterns
- Shortcuts vs. pipelines vs. mirroring: a decision guide
- A real example: replacing over-engineered pipelines
- Fabric Performance Optimization Assessment, then Q&A
