Microsoft Build 2023 Keynote Live Blog: Introducing Fabric


Goooood morning, party people! Today is the opening day of the annual Microsoft Build conference, an event focused on people like developers and power users who build things with Microsoft tools.

I’ve never attended Build in person before because the data part of the event tends to be fairly thin, and the releases for Azure SQL DB and SQL Server aren’t usually tied to Build’s dates. This year, it’s a hybrid event, both in-person in Seattle and online.

I’m at home in Vegas, attending virtually, and I’ll live-blog the keynote. Refresh this page starting at 9AM Pacific, noon Eastern, to
