Thanks Reza. I am bit wondering about the necessity of Databricks if one were to purchase Fabric, considering Fabric seems to cover all the functionalities that Databricks offers. Databricks is great tool and goto tool for big data processing though it is not for business users as it need technical expertise.
Fabric is easy to easy , low code no code and even business users will be able to to data engineering. If we opt for Databricks, would Power BI suffice as a visualization tool and use all fabric capacity for Power BI workload instead of data engineering and other workload?

[@RADACAD]

Hi
Good question
You can do everything you do in Databricks in Fabric in a much more easy and straight forward way. So if you are beginning to decided which to use; I'd say Fabric. Because Databricks is just part of the analytics solutions, whereas the Fabric is the entire stack
But if you are already using Databricks, then yes, you can use Fabric capacity for just the Power BI part of it, because Power BI is still the best visualization platform out there with a superb performance.
