The no-code angle here is underrated. Most RAG tutorials assume you are
building everything from scratch with Python and a vector database, which
puts the approach out of reach for teams that live in the Microsoft
ecosystem. Being able to point Azure AI Search at OneLake through the
portal and have chunking, embedding, and indexing handled as a managed
service dramatically lowers the barrier. For enterprise teams already
invested in Fabric this is a much more realistic starting point than
spinning up a custom LangChain pipeline. Good practical post.
