Microsoft Certified Fabric Data Engineer Associate

The DP-700 certification validates your ability to implement and manage data engineering solutions using Microsoft Fabric. This associate-level exam targets data engineers who build lakehouses, orchestrate data pipelines, ingest and transform batch and streaming data using SQL, PySpark, KQL, and Power Query, and monitor analytics solutions. You'll demonstrate skills in configuring Fabric workspaces, managing security and governance, optimizing performance, and deploying lifecycle pipelines. As Microsoft positions Fabric as its next-generation analytics platform, certified data engineers who build modern data architectures on Fabric are increasingly sought after.

Who Is This For?

You're a fit for DP-700 if you:

• You've built data pipelines using SQL, PySpark, KQL, or Power Query to move and transform data
• You've worked with data lakes, warehouses, or lakehouse architectures
• You're familiar with data modeling, Power BI, or Microsoft Fabric workspace features

What You'll Be Tested On

Are You Ready?

You're probably ready if you can:

• You've built a data pipeline that ingests data from multiple sources into a lakehouse or warehouse
• You've written Spark or SQL transformations to clean and reshape data for analytics
• You've configured workspace roles, permissions, and data governance in a Fabric environment

You might need more prep if:

• You haven't worked with Microsoft Fabric, Synapse, or similar unified analytics platforms yet
• You haven't used PySpark notebooks or Dataflows Gen2 for data transformation
• You haven't monitored and optimized Fabric pipelines for performance and cost
