The 2023 release wave 1 plan covers all new functionalities planned to be delivered to market from April 2023 to September 2023. In this article, you'll find the product overview and what's new and planned for data integration.
Overview
Data integration is foundational for the Microsoft Intelligent Data Platform, enabling data connectivity, transformation, and integration across hundreds of enterprise-critical cloud and on-premises data sources. Power Query enables users of Power BI, Excel, Azure Synapse, Power Apps, Insights Apps, and other Microsoft products and services to ingest and transform data from hundreds of sources into the Microsoft data ecosystem.
In this upcoming release wave, we'll deliver various big data performance and high scale improvements to connectivity scenarios from Azure Synapse, Dataverse, Snowflake, Databricks, Google BigQuery, and Amazon Redshift, as well as many other Power Query connectors.
You can also expect several enhancements to the on-premises and VNet data gateways capabilities, delivering best-in-class hybrid data connectivity to users across multiple Microsoft cloud products and services.
Power Query experiences will also be enhanced with several new capabilities across Get Data and the Data Transformation experiences in the Power Query Editor, making it even easier and more productive for users to work on their data prep tasks in a visual authoring environment.
We're also releasing significant improvements to offer a new generation of Dataflows to Microsoft Data Cloud, supporting Power Platform, Dynamics 365, and beyond.
