A solo data engineer built a full data platform on Microsoft Fabric

A solo data engineer shares a walkthrough of building a data platform with Microsoft Fabric.
The attached diagram shows a fairly standard modern warehouse stack: data sources feeding ingestion via Copy Activity and Spark notebooks, data landing in bronze/silver/gold layers, then a semantic model and Power BI dashboards on top. The architecture also highlights GitHub, Azure Key Vault, metadata-driven workflows, and deployment pipelines.
The post is framed as a practical solo-engineer build rather than a product announcement, and it shows how Fabric can be used to assemble an end-to-end data platform with relatively little headcount.
