Use Dataverse virtual tables in Power Pages sites
A common question I have gotten over the years is if it is possible to build a Power Pages that can surface and interact with data that is stored in a different database than Microsoft Dataverse, such as Azure SQL or other databases.

Using solutions to move Power Pages site configuration
Moving Power Pages (and Power Apps portals) site configuration from a one environment to another used to be a bit of a tedious process.

Power Apps Portals – Did you remember to lock the door?
The internet lit up a bit yesterday as UpGuard posted an article on how Microsoft Power Apps default permissions “exposed millions”. The article can be found by clicking here. The Power Platform community is also responding, see excellent articles on this topic from Danish and George Is this something you should panic about?
