fabric
"Fabric" means cloth or textile. For the Spanish "fábrica" (factory, plant) use "factory" or "plant" in English.
fabric
Cloth or textile material made by weaving or knitting fibers. Also used figuratively, as in "the fabric of society".
The common mistake: "Fábrica" en español es lo que en inglés se llama "factory" o "plant". "Fabric" en inglés es tela o tejido, no un edificio industrial. Si dices "our fabric processes 1000 units per day" la gente pensará que tienes una empresa textil.
"The new microservices architecture became the fabric that connected all our internal tools."
