## What breaks

On 31 Oct 2027, existing Azure Stream Analytics jobs that use the Power BI output connector are stopped. From the same date, existing customers cannot create new Stream Analytics jobs with Power BI as the output connector. New customers have not been able to create such jobs since October 31, 2024. Microsoft gives the Power BI retirement of real time streaming as the reason.

## What to do

1. Plan a transition to Fabric Real Time Intelligence, which the source describes as including Eventstream, KQL Database, DataActivator and Real Time Dashboards.
2. Follow the Microsoft [migration instructions](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2296200) to move to real time intelligence before 31 Oct 2027.
3. Read the Power BI notice on [real time streaming in Power BI](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2295913) for details of the streaming datasets retirement.

## Replacement
