Liquid Clustering is one of the most important — and least understood — performance features in Microsoft Fabric today. In this episode, we go deep. I sit down with Miles Cole — from the Microsoft Fabric team — for a wide-ranging conversation covering Fabric Jumpstart and a comprehensive, in-depth look at Liquid Clustering: what it is, how it compares to ZOrder and partitioning, and how to actually use it well. If you work with large Delta tables in Fabric — this episode is essential viewing. 📌 What we cover in this episode: Introduction — Meet Miles Cole 🚀 Fabric Jumpstart What is Fabric Jumpstart? Who does it help? How do you get started? 🧊 Liquid Clustering — Deep Dive What is Liquid Clustering? How is it different from ZOrder and Partitioning? Is this only for large tables, or do smaller datasets benefit too? Incremental Liquid Clustering — what happens under the hood? Do you have control over clustering keys? If so, how do you choose the right ones? Does Liquid Clustering help Direct Lake performance? How do you measure it and know it is actually working? Use case scenarios — Partitioning vs. ZOrder vs. Liquid Clustering, and when to use which 🎙️ Fabric Insider Series — direct conversations with Microsoft product team members on what is new, what is coming, and what matters most in Microsoft Fabric and Power BI. 🔗 Miles Cole on LinkedIn:   / mileswcole   📺 Full Fabric Insider Playlist:    • Fabric Insider - 2026   🎧 Fabric Insider on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4eJrCr5... 📚 Fabric Insider Blog Series: https://radacad.com/category/fabric-i... 💡 Power BI / Fabric Ideas: https://ideas.fabric.microsoft.com 💬 Microsoft Fabric Reddit:   / microsoftfabric   📌 Previous Fabric Insider Episodes: 🎙️ Ep. 1 — Wilson Lee: Fabric Mirroring, Copy Job & SAP Integration 🎙️ Ep. 5 — Christian Wade: What's Hot and New for Power BI Semantic Models 🎙️ Ep. 8 — Hasan Abo-Shally: Fabric MCP Servers, CLI & AI Agents 🎙️ Ep. 12 — Josh Caplan: OneLake Updates & Vision 🎙️ Ep. 13 — Kay Unkroth: DAX UDFs, Query REST API & Outbound Access Protection 🎙️ Ep. 14 — Rui Romano: PBIP, PBIR & Agentic AI Development 🎙️ Ep. 15 — Harleen Kaur: Skills for Power BI Report Authoring 📖 Related resources: 🔗 Choosing Your Medallion Pattern in Fabric Data Warehouse: https://community.fabric.microsoft.co... 🔗 RADACAD Blog: https://radacad.com/blog/ 🌐 RADACAD Website: https://radacad.com 🔗 Corporate Training: https://radacad.com/corporate-training/ 🔗 Power BI Training: https://radacad.com/power-bi-training/ 🔗 Microsoft Fabric Training: https://radacad.com/microsoft-fabric-... #MicrosoftFabric #LiquidClustering #DeltaLake #FabricInsider #MilesCole #DataEngineering #FabricAnalytics #FabricJumpstart #DirectLake #ZOrder #Partitioning #BusinessIntelligence #DataWarehouse #PerformanceOptimization #FabricDataWarehouse
