⚡ FabricPulse
Real-time pulse of your Microsoft Fabric pipelines — right inside VS Code.
What is FabricPulse?
FabricPulse is a VS Code extension for data engineers working with Microsoft Fabric. It brings pipeline monitoring directly into your development environment — no context switching, no slow portal, no waiting for Power BI to load.
You choose which pipelines matter. FabricPulse watches them, stores their history locally, and alerts you when something goes wrong.

Local Data & Privacy
FabricPulse does not collect any data. Everything is stored locally:

globalState
- No telemetry, no backend, no external calls beyond the Fabric API
Default retention: 90 days. Configurable in settings.
Roadmap
✅ Foundation
Dashboard, favorites, history, alerts, multi-tenant, CSV/JSON export, pattern detection, annotations.
- Semantic Model support (Power BI / Fabric refreshes)
- Priority loading for favorites on startup
- Configurable batching with instant cache
- Workspace blacklist
- Total run count per pipeline
- Timezone fix on run timestamps
✅ Security & Bug Hardening
- SSRF prevention, UUID validation, webview message validation, XSS hardening
- Bounded globalState, transaction safety, fetch timeouts, retry caps
- 15+ bug fixes across all services
🔲 Notebooks & Spark Jobs
- Fabric Notebooks support (runs, durations, statuses)
- Spark Jobs support
- Unified filters across pipelines, notebooks, and semantic models
🔲 Run Analysis
- Compare two runs of the same pipeline (parameters, durations, logs)
- Configuration diff between executions
🔲 Sharing & Cross-tenant
- Static HTML report export (for client sharing)
- "Pinned Items" cross-tenant panel: monitor favorites from multiple tenants in a single view
