Loadtesting Microsoft Fabric, partΒ II This blog can also be known as 'The Sequel', not to be confused with SQL, even though Fabric SQL will be mentioned in this blog. Anyway, I digress and don't call me Shirley. For those of you who have been following this blog for a long time, you may have read the posts on Fabric where I'm comparing the F64 Trial with the F2, and other shenanigans.

Blog alert!

I've revisited my loadtests in Fabric and wrote them down. Enjoy!

OK, the query insights table in #MicrosoftFabric warehouse is amazing. I wish we had something as user-friendly in #SQLServer itself.

This is a wrong URL. It's probably a copy paste from the section above. I don't know what the correct URL is, so what should I put in the PR?

The self-hosted integration runtime of Azure Data Factory (which is basically a more enterprise version of the on-premises data gataway, and it used to be called data management gateway) doesn't require a user to set up the gateway. Why would Fabric need it?

The on-premises data gateway requires a user login at the end of the setup, so that's a big no no
