How do Power BI developers handle real-time data updates?

Power BI developer use streaming datasets, push datasets, or direct connections to data sources (DirectQuery) to handle real-time data updates. For real-time dashboards, they may set up automatic refresh schedules or use APIs to push live data into Power BI. Streaming dataflows allow developers to connect to IoT devices, APIs, or any source providing continuous data. Power BI developers ensure real-time visualizations by configuring data refresh settings and implementing appropriate gateway setups to ensure that the dashboard is updated seamlessly as new data becomes available.
