Architectural Pillars

The 4 Core Tiers of Modern Microsoft Fabric Deployments

How modern enterprise data estates achieve zero-copy unification while eliminating ETL duplication and compute silos.

Tier 1

Ingestion & Zero-Copy Federation

Federate AWS S3, Snowflake Iceberg, ADLS Gen2, and Google Cloud Storage directly into OneLake without duplicate data pipelines using zero-copy shortcuts.

Key Capabilities:

  • S3 & GCS OneLake Shortcuts
  • Fabric Data Factory Pipelines
  • Real-Time EventStreams
  • CDC Database Mirrors
Tier 2

OneLake Unified Storage

A single virtualized storage layer for the entire organization, standardized on open Delta Lake Parquet with automated V-Order compaction and metadata virtualization.

Key Capabilities:

  • Medallion Bronze/Silver/Gold
  • OneLake Shortcut Security
  • V-Order Indexing
  • Single Logical Tenant Lake
Tier 3

Multi-Engine Compute Layer

Decoupled compute engines querying the same OneLake Delta tables without ETL hops: Spark Data Engineering, T-SQL Synapse Warehouse, and KQL Real-Time Analytics.

Key Capabilities:

  • Fabric Spark Runtime 1.3
  • Synapse T-SQL Warehouse
  • KQL Real-Time Engines
  • Fabric SQL Operational Database
Tier 4

Governed Serving & Direct Lake

Lightning-fast VertiPaq performance without data movement. Direct Lake loads Delta Parquet directly into Power BI memory with automatic fallback protection.

Key Capabilities:

  • Power BI Direct Lake Mode
  • Purview Sensitivity Inheritance
  • Row-Level Security (RLS)
  • F64+ Free Viewer Licensing
