In effect, Thota added, this approach cuts down the manual integration work and time typically required to connect backend systems once an application front-end is built.
Explaining further, how Rayfin works, the top executive said that developers or coding agents working on their behalf define the entire backend using the SDK, and then that definition is deployed directly to Fabric using the CLI.
Governance, not productivity, may be the bigger draw
According to independent consultant David Linthicum, Rayfin increases developer productivity, reduces integration overhead, and platform sprawl: “Instead of standing up separate app runtimes, data services, governance layers, and custom integration code, they can push more of that into one managed environment. It also keeps application data closer to the analytics estate.”
However, the rise in developer productivity is just the hook, according to Stewart Bond, research vice president at IDC.
