Buying more RAM or a faster laptop will help to some extent, but it cannot fix a poorly designed Power BI report. To get smooth and fast performance, you need to:
- Keep your data model optimized.
- Use star schema structure.
- Leverage measures and proper DAX practices.
- Avoid bloated models and unnecessary transformations.
- Design your backend (Starburst or BIW) with performance in mind.
Understanding how the VertiPaq engine works gives you the clarity to build models that are lean, scalable, and high performing. Whether you’re using Starburst or a BI Warehouse, the goal is the same: design your data for analytics, not just for storage.
