Microsoft Fabric Apps are a new way to build modern, data-driven web applications directly inside Microsoft Fabric. Rather than managing servers, APIs, databases, authentication, and hosting separately, Fabric provides these services automatically, allowing developers and data professionals to focus on creating business applications instead of infrastructure. A Fabric App can either connect to an existing Power BI semantic model or include its own managed SQL database, making it suitable for everything from interactive dashboards to operational business applications. This significantly lowers the barrier to building enterprise-grade solutions while keeping security, governance, and scalability within the Microsoft ecosystem. HOW MICROSOFT FABRIC APPS WORK Every Fabric App combines several managed services into a single application platform. When you create a new app, Microsoft Fabric automatically provisions a SQL database, GraphQL API, Microsoft Entra ID authentication, and static web hosting. Developers no longer need to configure backend infrastructure manually.
