Power Platform Boost Podcast
🧭 This week’s episode embraces the chaos of December while cutting straight to what matters most in the Power Platform world. We unpack why Dataverse capacity doubling is a big deal, how rising Copilot demand forces tough capacity tradeoffs, and what Microsoft’s new icons signal about the future of UI design. From choosing the right place to build agents to a first look at the Dataverse SDK for Python, we balance strategy with hands-on updates. We also tackle pipeline pain points, citizen developer deployments vs. DevOps, and the new modern theme designer for model-driven apps. Rounding things out, we dive into UX psychology, Power Pages enhancements with HTMX and cleaner validation, process maps in Power Apps plans, and what “Power Platform reborn” could mean with a more code-first Power Pages future. Fast-paced, opinionated, and packed with insight—this one’s a must-listen. 🚀
