CSA Loom Learning Hub — tutorials, use cases, editor guides, service guides, and reference, all Azure-native

CSA Loom Learning Hub

The Learning Hub is the single landing page for everything you can learn about CSA Loom. It mirrors the in-product Learn portal (/learn in the Console), which groups every topic into five sections: Tutorials, Use cases, Editor guides, Service guides, and Reference.

Every link below is a per-topic deep link to its own walkthrough — not a shared index. Where a real, installable content-bundle app backs a use case, the in-product card also surfaces an Install live example button that runs the real POST /api/apps/{appId}/install → provision → seed flow and an Install app link to the in-Console /apps/<appId> route. The Install live example cells below name that app id; open it from the Console at /apps/<appId>.

Azure-native, never Fabric

Loom achieves Fabric-equivalent outcomes on Azure-native + OSS backends — there is no hard dependency on a real Microsoft Fabric capacity or workspace. The streaming use cases below, for example, map to Azure Event Hubs → Azure Data Explorer (ADX) → Azure Logic Apps / Azure Monitor alerts — the Azure-native equivalent of Fabric Real-Time Intelligence + Activator. See No hard dependency on real Fabric.

Tutorials

End-to-end walkthroughs that take you from an empty workspace to a working scenario.

  1. Your first workspace
  2. First Lakehouse + Delta tables
  3. Direct Lake parity
  4. Activator rules over an IoT stream
  5. Data Agent over a Lakehouse
  6. Mirror Cosmos DB to a Lakehouse
  7. Publish a marketplace data product
  8. Forward-migrate a Lakehouse to Fabric

Use cases

Real-world reference scenarios — every one is a deep link to its own step-by-step walkthrough doc with architecture visuals, built on CSA Loom (Azure-native). The Install live example column names the matching one-click content-bundle app where one exists; otherwise the walkthrough is the built guide.

Sovereign / Gov-cloud

Air-gapped scenarios — these walkthroughs cite only sovereign-region Azure-native services (ADX, Event Hubs, Logic Apps, AI Foundry), never Fabric. In a sovereign deployment, set NEXT_PUBLIC_LOOM_DOCS_BASE to the internal docs mirror so these deep links stay inside the boundary.

42 use-case walkthroughs in total. Each renders as its own card in the Console's /learn Use cases section, with a Walkthrough deep link and — where a registered content bundle exists — an Install live example / Install app action.

Editor guides

One guide per item type — every Azure / Fabric editor Loom builds, with full feature parity on the Azure-native backend. Browse them all in the Learn index or in the Console's /learn Editor guides section.

Service guides

How the Loom engines work under the hood — the Azure-native replacements for Fabric Reflex, Mirroring, and Direct Lake.

  • Activator engine — evaluates Activator rules and dispatches actions via Azure Monitor / Logic Apps (no Fabric Reflex).
  • Mirroring engine — the change-feed replicator that keeps OneLake-equivalent ADLS mirrors in sync with their source.
  • Direct-Lake shim — the warm-cache materializer that gives Power BI sub-second Direct Lake-equivalent reads.

Reference

Architecture, parity, and orientation docs for the platform as a whole.
