Scaling a power app

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello everyone!

 

In the past few weeks I have created my first application with Microsoft Powerapps. Now after finalizing the first prototype, I am thinking about ways to scale the application. 

At the moment I am using three Sharepoint lists in the backend, storing and updating all necessary information. But if I am going to scale up this application, this would mean including more products and hence more information that has to be maintained in Sharepoint. My question now is:

 

Before I start creating three separate Sharepoint lists for each product, I was wondering whether it would be a better idea to just use Microsoft Dataverse. But since I have never even touched Dataverse, I wanted to ask here for some information.

 

What are pros and cons of using Dataverse?

Are there any pros of continue using Sharepoint lists?

 

I am looking forward to your points of view!

    Of course Sharepoint is a much better option than Dataverse.

    1.- the biggest advantage is in security, you can implement different levels of security with different dataverse roles 2.- Higher I/O speed.

    3.- it has no view limits, which sharepoint does have

    4.- It has scalability and greater availability I leave you here the link so you can consult https://learn.microsoft.com/es-es/power-apps/maker/data-platform/why-dataverse-overview

    If I have helped you, give me a like or mark the solution as accepted
