User data functions is a feature that allows you to host and run your own code on Fabric. This empowers data developers to write their business logic and embed it into their Fabric ecosystem. This feature supports the Python 3.11.9 runtime and allows you to use public libraries from PyPI, Fabric data connections and much more.
Ready to get started? Follow this guide to create a new user data functions item or use the VS Code extension.
Why use Fabric User data functions?
Fabric User data functions provides a platform to host your custom logic and reference from different types of Fabric items and data sources. You can use this service to write your business logic, internal algorithms, and libraries. You can also integrate it into your Fabric architectures to customize the behavior of your solutions.
The following are some of the benefits for logic using user data functions:
- Reusability: Invoke your functions from other Fabric items and create libraries of standardized functionality that can be used in many solutions within your organization.
- Customization: Use Python and public libraries from PyPI to create powerful applications that are tailored to your needs.
- Encapsulation: Create functions that perform several tasks to build sophisticated workflows.
- External connectivity: Invoke your user data functions from external client applications using a REST endpoint, opening up possibilities for integrations with external systems.
Enable User data functions
To get started with using this feature, simply navigate to the admin portal and turn on User data functions (preview). Make sure that your tenant is in a region that supports Fabric User Data Functions.
Fabric integrations
Fabric User Data Functions can seamlessly connect with other Fabric items to create rich end-to-end experiences. There are two kinds of integrations:
- Fabric data sources
- Fabric items that invoke User Data Functions:
- Tranlytical app with Power BI
