What you'll learn

Organizations end up with data in SQL Server, the business wants dashboards, and someone decides to just run the reports against the OLTP database. Then the Monday morning report breaks the application. In this course, Build Hybrid Analytics with SQL Server 2025 and Microsoft Fabric, you'll gain the ability to design, implement, and operate a hybrid analytics architecture that keeps your transactional workloads healthy while unlocking the full power of Fabric for reporting and data exploration. First, you'll explore the landscape of hybrid analytics patterns, mirroring, batch replication, and change event streaming, and build a decision framework for choosing the right one based on latency, freshness, and cost. Next, you'll discover how to configure SQL Server 2025 mirroring to Fabric, select the right tables to replicate, validate that the initial sync landed correctly, and troubleshoot the failures every real-world deployment runs into. Finally, you'll learn how to run a hybrid pipeline in production: monitoring replication health, protecting OLTP performance with Resource Governor, handling recovery scenarios, applying security controls across both sides of the stack, and rolling out changes in stages without breaking anything. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge of hybrid analytics architecture needed to connect SQL Server 2025 to Microsoft Fabric in production and keep it running.
