Description

Synapse Data Explorer (Preview) will be retired on October 7, 2025. The next generation of Synapse Data Explorer offering is evolving to become Eventhouse in Real-Time Intelligence, part of Microsoft Fabric.

Eventhouse offers the same powerful features and capabilities of Synapse Data Explorer, but with enhanced scalability, performance, and security.

Key Dates:

March 31, 2025:  Last day of public preview. After this date, you can continue using Synapse Data Explorer without any disruption in your existing subscriptions. You will also be able to create new Data Explorer pools within your existing subscriptions. However, creating Data Explorer pools in new subscriptions will no longer be possible.
October 7, 2025:  Retirement day of Synapse Data Explorer. After this date, workloads running on Synapse Data Explorer will be deleted, and the associated application data will be lost.

Required action

We encourage you to transition to Eventhouse in Microsoft Fabric, by October 7, 2025. By making the switch, you'll gain access to the new capabilities of Fabric, including end-to-end analytics in a unified SaaS platform and access to open data formats in OneLake.
