Is anyone using Domains in Fabric? I am curious how they are being implemented? Also, does anyone use the Default Domain for when a new workspace is created?

I was called a dinosaur today for using SSMS instead of Azure Data Studio. The project is on Synapse dedicated pool, so maybe he was right?

Though I like all the ideas behind
#Fabric
, I am a little hesitant about suggesting an enterprise implementation until some of the next stuff is released in 2024, especially around security and vnet/private endpoints. Am I wrong?

What are Visual Best Practices? Overload pages with too many visuals instead of interactions that are sluggish. Maybe a best practice is for report design to reduce the number of visuals on a page avoiding unnecessary slicers or interactions while using visual types for the correct data type.

1. Optimizing Model: Slow report rendering due to a complex data model with numerous relationships. Solution: Simplify the data model by removing unnecessary relationships, using bidirectional filtering cautiously, and leveraging composite models for large datasets.
