Posted on by jacob_

hello,

I need some help in understanding what is the best current approach to maintain canvas apps with different environments like dev, test, prod with an database as a source.

Let's say I have created one power app in default environment on power apps portal. This app will be used by Power BI only. I have three database environment which should be reflected and here are my questions:

1) Should I create three different power apps environment according to database environments? or three different power apps in one power apps environment? or maybe one app is enough (but how to implement environment variable then?)

2) Should I package my Power App into solution? is it required? what are the benefits in such a case?

Thank you very much for your help, regards!

Hi @jacob_

The best practice is to have a separate app for each environment so that we can keep the data source name as it is. Otherwise changing the data source all over the app is hard and messy.
We can isolate the apps from one environment to Other environments
The developer always uses the Dev environment to develop, Test and Prod are for a separate set of users to access.
Yes, the Best practice is to create a solution
It's a container which easy to maintain for more than one component.
We can Identify the dependencies for all the components within the solution
This is required for CI/CD process (Continous Integration/Continous Deployment)
