We have heard direct feedback from many of our partner connector developers who build and certify connectors on our platform today, that the developer experience needs improving. There is also a lack of developer-friendly linting and tooling in the current developer experience. Developers need to build and export a package within Visual Studio that is then loaded into Power BI for testing. The developer experience is within Visual Studio however, the testing phase is primarily done outside of Visual Studio. The current Power Query SDK is based on and used within Visual Studio 2019. Why release a new Power Query SDK in Visual Studio Code? We are very excited to make an announcement this week that expands further on this success story – the Public Preview Release of the new Power Query SDK for Visual Studio Code! In addition to allowing anyone, including 3rd parties outside of Microsoft, to build connectors with this SDK, Microsoft also provides a Connector Certification program so that ISVs owning Data Platforms and Services can submit connectors built against those data sources to Microsoft for certification, enabling them to be released out-of-the-box in Power Query product experiences within Power BI (Power BI Desktop, Dataflows, and Datamarts). These connectors can be easily distributed to users, loaded into Power BI Desktop (for authoring of reports) and the On-premises data gateway (for operationalization of those reports). Today, Power BI offers one of the richest Data Connectivity platforms in the industry, powered by Power Query, with out-of-the-box connectivity to over 170 types of data sources and hundreds more through generic connectivity interfaces, enabling several millions of users to connect to data of any shape and size, and reshape it to fit their needs.Ī key contributing factor to the richness of Power Query’s Data Connectivity is that, in addition to data connectors built by Microsoft, Power Query provides an extensible platform that allows any Developer to build and release their own Power Query connectors by leveraging the Power Query Connectors SDK.
