March 2025 monthly summary for microsoft/fabric-toolbox: focused on CI/CD deployments documentation naming consistency. Fixed naming inconsistency by renaming git-base-deployments to git-based-deployments across Markdown docs and YAML pipeline definitions. This alignment improves accuracy of CI/CD deployment docs, reduces onboarding time, and lowers risk of misconfigurations in deployments. Commit reference: 6c38d9bd8b8559f574e9eae58004290802658813 (folder name fix for git-based-deployments). No code changes beyond documentation updates were required in this iteration. Business value: improved reliability and maintainability of deployment docs; technical achievement: cross-file consistency and git hygiene.

January 2025 performance snapshot for microsoft/fabric-toolbox: Delivered a foundation of RTI accelerators and accelerator packages, including the powerbi modernization accelerator and DW BCDR accelerator, with tests across multiple commits. Added accelerator samples with open-mirroring and SQL notebooks, plus centralized SQL notebooks for easier experimentation. Improved repo usability and branding: UI assets (Fabric.svg and Tools.svg), naming consistency, monitoring folder restructuring with a new README, Azure policy folder, and removal of obsolete archive folder. Strengthened onboarding and documentation via README updates, initial scripts and samples upload, and media branding (Fabric CAT logo). Result: faster demonstration of accelerator capabilities, improved developer onboarding, and a cleaner, more maintainable repo.
