Microsoft Fabric Eventstream Deep-Dive — 60 to 90 Min Call

I’m looking for someone with hands-on, current experience with Microsoft Fabric, specifically the Eventstream component and its connector ecosystem, for a single deep-dive call (60–90 min). I need to understand this product inside out — not a surface-level overview, but the kind of detail someone who has actually built with or on Fabric would know. Topics to cover Eventstream & connectors • How the Eventstream connector catalog works today — architecture, connector lifecycle, how sources land in Real-Time Intelligence • What the Custom Connector framework is, how certification/partner-built connectors work, and what “preview to GA” involves for a framework like this • How Capacity Units (CU) and consumption-based billing work in Fabric, and how that ties to connector usage Enterprise networking & security, specifically as implemented in Fabric • How VNet Data Gateway and on-premises data gateway actually work in Fabric (not general Azure networking — the Fabric-specific implementation) • How TLS/mTLS and customer-managed certificates are handled for enterprise connections into Fabric • What tenant isolation looks like architecturally in Fabric’s multi-tenant model Market/competitive context • How Fabric’s connector ecosystem compares to competitors (e.g., Databricks, Snowflake, Confluent) — where it’s ahead, where it’s behind • Where Microsoft is likely investing next in this space Who I’m looking for • Current or recent hands-on experience with Microsoft Fabric (ideally Eventstream/Real-Time Intelligence specifically) — as a developer, data engineer, architect, or partner/ISV building connectors • Comfortable explaining technical concepts clearly to someone who is not an engineer but is technically literate and asking precise questions • Available for a call tonight, Singapore time (SGT)
