When you develop data pipelines in Microsoft Fabric (the Azure Data Factory equivalent in Fabric, not to be confused with deployment pipelines), you will most likely have some activities with a connection to a warehouse, a lakehouse or a KQL database (for the remainder of the blog post I’ll talk about a warehouse, but it […]

PostgreSQL error in Fabric Pipelines – No pg_hba.conf Entry for Host
I came across a bit of a weird error when I was trying to connect to a PostGreSQL database (hosted as an Azure DB for PostGreSQL), where “xx.xx.xx.xxx” is some IP address: No pg_hba.conf entry for host “xx.xx.xx.xxx” Some context to get us started. I’m using Pipelines in Microsoft Fabric to copy data from an […]
Planview Portfolios REST API with ADF – Retrieving Actual Data
In the introduction of this blog post series, I explained the use case: extracting data from the Planview Portfolios REST API using Azure Data Factory.

Fabulous Stuff in Fabric – Part 4: The Office365 Outlook Activity
A while ago I had a little blog post series about cool stuff in Snowflake. I’m doing a similar series now, but this time for Microsoft Fabric. I’m not going to cover the basics of Fabric, hundreds of bloggers have already done that. I’m going to cover little bits & pieces that I find interesting, that […]
Session Materials for Cloudbrew & Data Meetup Groningen
I presented “Microsoft Fabric for Dummies” at Cloudbrew and “How I saved 80% on my ADF costs” as a lightning talk at Data Meetup Groningen. Both slidedecks can be found at github.
