It would be really nice if a Fabric capacity can auto-pause & auto-resume.
Auto-pause: if there's no activity for a specified time interval, the capacity shuts down (dropping any caches, this is expected behavior).
Auto-resume: if there's some request (a SQL/KQL query, a notebook cell that starts, a directlake request from Power BI, ...), the capacity automatically resumes AND serves the request without throwing an error.
Some latency can be expected because the capacity needs to start obviously, and it's a cold start so there's no caching.
Snowflake has this capability for their warehouses (similar to Fabric compute) for almost a decade now. Same with Databricks.

RE: Auto pause/resume of Fabric Capacity
I completely agree with this suggestion. Auto-pause and auto-resume functionalities for Fabric capacity would be incredibly useful. I'm rooting for this feature as my project also needs it.
