Microsoft Fabric

Lakehouse Consulting

Combine the flexibility of a data lake with the performance of a data warehouse. SolveBI architects and builds Microsoft Fabric Lakehouses that scale with your data and serve every team - from data engineers to business analysts.

What is Fabric Lakehouse?

The Foundation of Your Fabric Data Estate

Microsoft Fabric Lakehouse is a unified data management architecture that stores all your data in open Delta Lake format on OneLake - Microsoft's single, multi-cloud data lake. It combines the schema flexibility and cost-efficiency of a data lake with the performance and query capabilities of a data warehouse.

Data engineers can use Apache Spark notebooks and pipelines to ingest and transform raw data, while analysts and BI professionals access the same data through an auto-provisioned SQL analytics endpoint - no duplication, no ETL overhead, no data movement.

Every table in your Lakehouse is automatically available to Power BI via Direct Lake mode, delivering near-real-time reporting without the import refresh cycle that traditional datasets require.

How SolveBI Builds Your Lakehouse

From initial architecture through to production-ready pipelines, we deliver Lakehouses that your teams can rely on every day.

Lakehouse Architecture & Design

We design medallion architectures (Bronze, Silver, Gold) tailored to your ingestion patterns, transformation complexity, and reporting requirements - ensuring your Lakehouse scales with your business.

Spark-Based Data Engineering

Our engineers build robust PySpark and Spark SQL notebooks for data transformation, cleansing, and enrichment - automated with Fabric pipelines and scheduled for reliable daily delivery.

Data Migration to Lakehouse

Migrate from legacy data warehouses, Azure Data Lake, ADLS Gen2, or on-premises databases to Fabric Lakehouse with zero downtime and full data quality validation.

SQL Analytics Endpoint Setup

Configure and optimise the auto-generated SQL analytics endpoint so your BI tools and SQL users can query Delta tables without touching a single line of Spark.

Data Governance & Lineage

Implement Microsoft Purview integration for data cataloguing, lineage tracking, and sensitivity labelling across all tables in your Lakehouse.

Performance Optimisation

Tune Delta Lake table properties, file sizes, Z-ordering, and Spark configurations to maximise query performance for both interactive and scheduled workloads.

Use Cases

Common Lakehouse Scenarios We Deliver

Enterprise Data Lake Modernisation

Replace fragmented ADLS Gen2 data lakes with a governed, structured Lakehouse that your entire organisation can query without Spark expertise.

Self-Service Analytics Foundation

Build a Gold-layer Lakehouse that feeds Power BI Direct Lake datasets, giving analysts fast, consistent access to a single source of truth.

IoT & High-Volume Ingestion

Land high-frequency sensor, event, or clickstream data in Bronze and process it through Silver transformations using Spark streaming or batch.

Regulatory & Compliance Reporting

Maintain immutable audit histories using Delta Lake's time-travel capability, with full lineage tracked through Microsoft Purview.
