Hi! Welcome to the community. In addition to the comments below, I am curious why create a new provider instead of adopting and expanding the existing Microsoft provider package? [1]

Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed inquiry regarding the maintainability and support for the proposed Microsoft Fabric provider for Apache Airflow. I appreciate your commitment to transparency and collaboration within the Apache Airflow community. Your concerns about long-term support and the active involvement of stakeholders are entirely valid. To address your questions directly: 1. *Affiliation with Microsoft:* I am working as a vendor at Microsoft, and I am actively contributing to this proposal on behalf of the company. I have also developed the private plugin for Microsoft Fabric <https://github.com/ambika-garg/apache-airflow-microsoft-fabric-plugin>, that triggers run of on-demand fabric items. Previously, I have worked on Synapse operator that triggers pipeline run <https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/35091> and my new PR that integrates the Power BI operator for dataset refresh <https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/40356> is in-progress. However, I understand that the community's interest is not just in individual contributors but in the sustained involvement and support from the organization. 2. *Microsoft’s Commitment:* I can assure you that this proposal is backed by a commitment from Microsoft to not only contribute the initial code but also to engage actively in its long-term maintenance and integration. To ensure the community has full visibility into Microsoft’s commitment and future plans, I have reached out to my manager. I am tagging @abnar...@microsoft.com <abnar...@microsoft.com> Abhishek Narain, who can provide more detailed information about our roadmap, resources, and long-term strategy for supporting this integration. Thank you again for your patience. We are eager to work alongside the community to ensure the success and sustainability of the Microsoft Fabric provider. Best regards, Ambika Garg
