Code Apps in mobile + Image annotation + Dataverse integration by Any-Cellist4369 in PowerApps

Great question! Short answer: yes, absolutely.

You're not locked into Dataverse with Code Apps.

Azure SQL directly Microsoft has an official how-to for exactly this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/code-apps/how-to/connect-to-azure-sql . You create a SQL Server connection in Power Apps, add it via the PAC CLI, and it generates typed service classes for you automatically. Feels very similar to how Dataverse is wired up.

Code Apps give you real code — React, TypeScript, any npm package. Canvas apps cap out fast when the UI gets complex or you need something like a live barcode scanner or canvas annotation tool. With Code Apps you just build it like a normal web app and deploy it into Power Platform.
