From Flat to Sparkling: Monitoring Data Quality with Soda in Microsoft Fabric

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

After loading all of your data into OneLake, you might be wondering how to ensure its quality. In this session, we’ll explore and demonstrate how Soda can help you monitor data quality with automated data testing and alerting, write and monitor data contracts, and browse data quality metrics in a user-friendly dashboard. Soda is an open-source CLI tool where I recently contributed support for Microsoft Fabric. It’s available for Lakehouses and Data Warehouses and comes with an easy and git-controlled YAML syntax to monitor all aspects of data quality.

I’ve been using Microsoft Fabric since early 2023 and have been awarded the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award specifically for Fabric. I have a deep understanding of the platform and its capabilities, and I’m excited to share my knowledge with you. I’ve worked out several training programs that can help you and your team get started with Fabric, or to deepen your knowledge of the platform.
