Episode 008 - The Pipeline Confession


Listen Later

The deployment completed successfully. No errors. No warnings. Just one overlooked connection string… and two weeks of corrupted reports. In this episode, Frank and Kevin uncover a cautionary tale from deep inside a Microsoft Fabric deployment pipeline. When a production stage is connected to the wrong database, the damage is invisible — until it’s irreversible.

They discuss:

- Why deployment rules are critical for configuring production resources
- How to correctly manage connection strings across Dev, Test, and Prod
- When manual overrides lead to silent disasters
- And how one deployment triggered a full-blown audit
