If you’ve ever worked on building or releasing data solutions, you’ve probably run into the usual suspects: long release cycles, last-minute bugs, and the classic “it works on my machine” problem. Writing clean code is only half the job\u2014getting it into production reliably and quickly is where things tend to break down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s where CI\/CD (Continuous Integration \/ Continuous Deployment) comes in. In this post, we’ll focus on applying CI\/CD in Microsoft Fabric<\/strong>, covering how to set up your environment, manage development across branches, and collaborate effectively across teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is Part 1<\/strong> of a two-part series. Here, we’ll tackle workspace organization and collaboration. In Part 2, we’ll dive into deployment strategies between environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Will We Produce Code in Microsoft Fabric?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In Fabric, development happens in two main ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Fabric Items<\/strong> – Mainly developed using the Microsoft Fabric UI. You can also use VS Code, but to keep things simple, I’ll describe the process using the Fabric UI\u2014VS Code isn’t quite there yet, though the general approach remains similar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Power BI Reports and Semantic Models<\/strong> – Mainly developed using Power BI Desktop.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Since these two areas are developed differently, we’ll need different collaboration and CI\/CD processes for each. Let’s walk through how to organize this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Organizing Your Microsoft Fabric Tenant<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    Planning CI\/CD should start with your overall workspace architecture\u2014essentially, what kind of items you’re creating in which environment. Here’s the approach I’ve established (feel free to adapt it to your needs):<\/p>\n\n\n
