I just published a new version of #FabricStudio which now also shows you the Upstream and Downstream relations of each individual item. The underlying APIs were just released and are still in Beta - I hope Microsoft aligns the names of the ItemType names some time soon ...

You are using Microsoft Fabric with schema-enabled lakehouses and want to run your notebooks with business logic expressed in SQL views in parallel? Check out my blog post on how to make it work! blog.gbrueckl.at/2026/09/usin...

Finally! The open Lakehouse with Microsoft Fabric and Databricks - or maybe not (yet)! In this blog post I will show how you can use this new feature to build an open lakehouse architecture across these two data platforms and allow bidirectional read-write access! blog.gbrueckl.at/2026/06/stor...

Another unknown feature of #FabricStudio are its drag&drop capabilities. e.g. workspace roles: you can simply drag an existing assignment and drop it on another workspace which will copy the role assignment over to the new workspace. [docs](github.com/gbrueckl/Fab...)

Have you ever wondered where those GUIDs that Fabric randomly throws at you belong to? I have something for you! Finding and Resolving GUIDs is directly accessible from #FabricStudio for #VSCode Marketplace: [Fabric Studio](marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemNa...)

I just added a new feature to hashtag#FabricStudio which allows you to open any SQL endpoint (or the underlying item) directly in the Microsoft SQL extension for browsing as well as modifications (DML/DDL) The reverse also works to browse the physical files in OneLake!

After working a lot on Fabric Studio recently, I finally also found some time again to add new features to our Databricks Power Tools (by @paiqo)! The short demo shows the new capabilities! #paiqo #databricks #ide Databricks Power Tools: marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemNa...
