What happens if user or data load gets higher? Does Power Apps includes automatic scaling of the environment to extend the computing resources if needed?

    Hi @powerbey,

     

    Power Platform is a platform as a service (PaaS) and the underlying infrastructure and how it operates/scales is managed by Microsoft so we don't need to worry about that part. That said, below is an image from one of Ryan Jones' (Program Manager of CDS/Dataverse) sessions that shows a high level physical architecture of Dataverse. It is built on Azure so its leveraging the Infrastructure as a Services (IaaS) that any other customer has access to today, such as VM scale sets, SQL Eslastic Pools, Blob Storage, CosmosDB, Data Lake, Azure Search, load balancing services, etc.

    Here's a link to one of his sessions on this if you wish to know more. 

     

    The part we need to pay attention to as customers/users of the platform is throttling limits imposed. These are put in place so that performance and availability consistently can meet the Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that is promised to customers. 

     

    Here are the documented throttling limits incase you are interested.
