Code Review

This pull request adds a new section to the data integration overview page about integrating TiDB with Microsoft Fabric. The new content provides a good overview of the integration. I have suggested a few minor wording improvements for better clarity, technical accuracy, and consistency with the documentation style guide. Overall, this is a valuable addition to the documentation.

[gemini-code-assist]

To improve clarity, technical accuracy, and conciseness, I suggest a few revisions to this new section:

• In the first paragraph, attribute the action of writing data to TiCDC instead of TiDB for technical accuracy.
• Shorten any TiDB deployment environment to any TiDB deployment.
• Use your data to align with the second-person writing style.
• In the link, remove "this blog post" to be more direct and consistent with other sections.

These changes align with the repository's documentation style guide.

Suggested change

	You can use TiCDC to replicate incremental data from TiDB to Microsoft Fabric. With [open mirroring](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/mirroring/open-mirroring), TiDB can write change data directly to a mirrored database in Fabric. This enables continuous, near real-time data replication from any TiDB deployment environment to Microsoft Fabric OneLake, making the data readily available for AI and analytics workloads.
	For details, see this blog post [How to Replicate TiDB to a Mirrored Database in Microsoft Fabric with TiCDC](https://www.pingcap.com/blog/replicate-tidb-mirrored-database-microsoft-fabric-ticdc/).
