dbt Labs Expands dbt Fusion Engine Ecosystem with Microsoft Fabric Integration

dbt Labs has expanded its dbt Fusion engine ecosystem by integrating with Microsoft Fabric, which aims to enhance data transformation for analytics and AI workloads. This integration, announced at Microsoft Ignite 2025, allows users to perform dbt transformations directly within Microsoft Fabric without needing a Command Line Interface setup or external orchestration, thereby improving data governance and developer productivity. The dbt Fusion engine, built on Rust with deep SQL capabilities, offers a significantly enhanced developer experience by executing large dbt projects up to 30 times faster than dbt Core. The collaboration leverages Microsoft's cloud-scale capabilities to create a robust data foundation necessary for AI, with the dbt job in Microsoft Fabric now available in public preview and plans to incorporate the dbt Fusion engine in 2026.
