Exploring OneLake with Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer

One of the coolest things about Microsoft Fabric is that it nicely decouples storage and compute and it is very transparent about the storage: everything ends up in the OneLake. This is a huge advantage over other data platforms since you don’t have to worry about moving data around, it is always available, wherever you need it.

To store the data in the OneLake, Microsoft Fabric makes use of Delta Lake . Delta is an open-source data format built upon Apache Parquet (this is why Microsoft likes to – incorrectly – call it Delta Parquet). Delta adds a transaction log to your Parquet files which enables you to do things like time travel, rollbacks, fully ACID transactions, and more. This open-source format was developed by Databricks and is now part of the Linux Foundation.

Azure Storage Explorer is a free tool from Microsoft that allows you to manage your Azure Storage accounts. It is available to download for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Behind the scenes, it uses a combination of REST APIs and the great AzCopy tool to interact with your storage accounts
