Near real-time analytics on Azure Cosmos DB with Microsoft Fabric mirroring

on YouTube ↗15m

" summary

Mirroring copies Azure Cosmos DB (plus Azure SQL DB and Snowflake today) into Microsoft OneLake as open-source Delta format, creating an initial snapshot and then continuous incremental replication with no ETL and no impact to Cosmos DB request units. The system uses an internal CDC mechanism (not change feed or analytical store) and shows updates in fabric quickly — demo moves 7,500 → 8,000 rows with replication visible in <30 seconds. Replication compute isn’t charged and mirror storage is free up to allocated fabric capacity.
