I just watched a couple of session by Charles Lamanna and Ryan Cunningham titled Empower your organization with the Microsoft Power Platform and Power Apps in 2020: What you should already be using and what’s still to come in 2020 respectively. Awesome two sessions that I highly recommend you watch.
Those sessions where filled with announcements. Here are the top 5 announcements so far (with 2 bonuses):
1- T-SQL endpoint to CDS data and PowerBI CDS direct query
The biggest announcements, in my opinion, first called by Chales Lamanna is the coming soon direct T-SQL endpoint that exposes direct access CDS data as well as the PowerBI direct query to CDS.
This is huge as the connection will enable live data querying, it will respect security roles, and it also execute the entire plugin pipeline. This capability bring up a huge range of options. More details about the feature in the link below.
