FabCon Europe 2024 attracted IT professionals, developers and industry experts from around the world. Microsoft presented exciting innovations and updates for its data platform in Stockholm.

Together, developers can create, evolve and publish applications in a fraction of the time it would otherwise take using traditional development methods.
