You’ll learn how to avoid scaling failures in Power Apps by moving beyond SharePoint Lists for large datasets — directly inside the Microsoft cloud — in this episode.
Who this episode is for:
• You want practical strategies you can apply instantly
• You want real execution — not theory
• You want to unlock Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and Azure for real business outcomes
Scenario:
Your Power Apps choke on filters, stall at record limits, and struggle with governance.
Step-by-step – what you will learn:
• why SharePoint Lists fail at scale as Power Apps data sources
• the critical differences between SharePoint and Dataverse for delegation, relationships, and performance
• how to identify red flags and thresholds before hitting architectural bottlenecks
• the migration process from SharePoint to Dataverse, including schema mapping, security, and flow refactoring
Tools + tech included:
• Microsoft 365 / Power Apps / Dataverse / SharePoint
• Delegation mechanics
• Security roles and permissions
• Data integration strategies
Practical payoff:
• eliminate data loss and performance bottlenecks
• faster load times and reliable record counts
• scalable governance and security
Open topical anchors:
performance improvement • cloud-first transformation • modern app development • Microsoft ecosystem advantage
Example business cases listeners can apply immediately:
• migrate apps with more than 100,000 records to Dataverse
• secure data at row and field levels for compliance-heavy scenarios
• optimize Power Apps for large datasets with proper delegation and relationships
