Databricks to occupy former Citigroup space in SF

🚀 Microsoft Fabric: Let’s Talk Architecture I just released a new video exploring how to structure Microsoft Fabric workspaces for real-world enterprise scenarios. I walk through: ·        A 7-workspace model separating Bronze, Silver (Dev/Test/Prod), and Gold (Dev/Test/Prod). ·        An 8-workspace model that introduces a Silver Self-Service workspace - enabling governed self-service without risking production stability. ·        Capacity strategy using dedicated Dev and Self-Service capacities to manage cost and reduce risk. If you’re setting up Fabric for scale, governance, and performance - this high-level overview is for you. 🎥 Watch here 👉 https://lnkd.in/egWVWRq6 #MicrosoftFabric #DataEngineering #Architecture #Governance #Analytics

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 (𝗛𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘇𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴) Why one massive “city” database doesn’t scale — and why smart architects build neighborhoods instead. 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆: Imagine 10 million people all living in one mega-city. Overcrowding, traffic, chaos. Now imagine splitting into smaller neighborhoods, each self-contained but still part of the same city. 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝗲-𝗶𝗻: That’s Horizontal Partitioning (Sharding).   • Same table structure across DBs.   • Rows split across shards (e.g., users 1–100k in Shard A, 100k–200k in Shard B). 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝘀:   • Handles massive concurrent requests.   • Improves query speed.   • Spreads load evenly across infrastructure. Do you think companies should shard early to prepare for growth, or later once scale forces them to? 🤔

Empty office towers in cities like Chicago and Minneapolis are getting a high-tech makeover — transforming into AI data centers as demand for localized inference computing heats up. https://bit.ly/4o7xf2U

From Offices to Data Centers: The Next Wave of Commercial Real Estate! What happens when the world’s demand for data outpaces its supply of space? We’re seeing it unfold right now - the data center boom. Across the U.S., obsolete office and industrial properties are being reborn as high-value digital infrastructure. Why it matters: AI, cloud computing, and streaming are driving exponential demand for server capacity. Traditional CRE - especially office faces rising vacancies and value compression. Investors who pivot early into conversions can unlock returns few traditional plays can match. The real opportunity isn’t just in the build - it’s in zoning foresight, power access, and tenant alignment (think cloud providers, telecoms, and AI firms). This isn’t a short-term shift. It’s the foundation of the next wealth cycle in commercial real estate. If you’re serious about decoding where this market is heading and how to capitalize on dislocation before institutions do that’s exactly what we teach inside Dream by Steven Shipp. A private community built to help investors and professionals turn market transitions into generational opportunities.

Aleksi Partanen explains the Fabric Architecture so well in this short tutorial :) The logical segregation and correlation between core Fabric concepts such as Fabric Tenant, Workspaces, Domains / Sub Domains, Capacity, Items are illustrated very clearly. As a Fabric architect, knowing these foundational concepts will help design a Fabric solution at an enterprise level. Thanks Aleksi Partanen for putting your efforts here !! Looking forward to more such tutorials :) https://lnkd.in/d52v_vYV

𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐂𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐄𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐛 It’s always great to see our region getting national attention. The Wall Street Journal recently spotlighted Bellevue’s growth as a hub for technology and innovation — and it’s well deserved. Major players like Snowflake, OpenAI, TikTok, and Amazon are expanding on the Eastside, drawn by modern infrastructure, livability, and new transit links. Since 2021, Bellevue has added nearly 3.9 million sq ft of office space, outpacing Seattle’s 2.6 million, with rents now higher than across the lake. For the Seattle-area manufacturing community, this momentum is something to celebrate. As Bellevue attracts more tech and AI-driven companies, it strengthens the region’s innovation ecosystem — creating new opportunities for manufacturers, suppliers, and industrial partners to collaborate, grow, and build the future right here in the Pacific Northwest. https://lnkd.in/gMsr3hVx The Wall Street Journal
