Microsoft Fabric: Are you using Lakehouse or Warehouse for your Gold layer?

Discussion

We're currently reviewing our Fabric architecture and trying to decide whether our Gold layer should remain in a Lakehouse or be served from a Warehouse.

I understand that both ultimately store data in Delta format in OneLake, but I'm interested in hearing about real-world experiences rather than Microsoft documentation.

A few questions:

  • Are you using a Lakehouse or Warehouse for your Gold layer?
  • What was the reasoning behind that decision?
  • What advantages have you seen?
  • What limitations or challenges have you encountered?
  • How does it impact Power BI performance?
