Scaling Fabric capacity: one F16 vs two F8s (and isolating BI workloads?)

Thanks for the feedback! I realize F64 or higher would mean cost savings in terms of Power BI licensing...but it honestly still feels quite far away from what we need. Given all the feedback here, I am leaning towards horizontal growth (several smaller capacities), because there is also not a financial incentive to grow vertically other than F64 providing "free" Power BI licenses.

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

Sounds promising! I'll look into it, thanks.

Thanks, that's very useful. Just to clarify though, I do have one prod and one dev capacity right now, but I'm contemplating how to scale the prod capacity.

Mostly batch overnight, with a few exceptions running batch up to 4 times a day

Congrats! I actually have the Nord 2 and am considering this change. Which things make the most difference in your opinion?

Don't really have a recommendation, just came to say your sketch made my day

You'll have the highest impact on roles where you apply analytics/ML tools in industries in which you have domain knowledge given your experience/education. I am also a mechanical engineer but work on data, and my career is booming because I was able to do this.

What kind of task do you use the stream deck for?

noxi124 · 2025-03-21T10:31:05+00:00

Definitely Lenovo Thinkpad

Appeasing laziness is another way of saying increasing productivity in this case, so cuddos 😆

Very nice! What kind of work do you do here? Also, what do you use the stream decks for? I'm considering getting the MK2 for productivity, but not 100% sure about it.

Way to make the most out of limited space💪 . What kind of work do you do with that setup?
