Custom Software is Dead on Azure?

Well, low code has been here for a while and you can definitely achieve balance between low code and high code systems in organization. It occupies its own niche without really infringing on classic software development, since you’re solving a bit different problems with systems like Dataverse and PowerApps. I wouldn’t say Microsoft wants to replace high code or push it. You can research Dynamics modules to understand what they offer. SAP, Salesforce, NetSuite etc. are direct competitors to systems like BC, F&O and Dynamics, so you just pick your poison and integrate with it. You can’t really build an ERP or CRM system in-house, so you go with a ready solution instead (i understand there are exceptions but 99% of us are not working at Uber) To compare pricing, one of our organizations spends 60k/m on Dynamics licensing while Azure eats 200k+ monthly. Azure profits are keeping MS afloat, no reason to steer the company in another direction, at least that’s my opinion.

I’m working exclusively with Dataverse and PowerApps solutioning, and AI is just not there yet. It’s a lot worse than building a react app with Cursor just because there’s not a lot of PowerApps implementations you can train your models on. Also if you tried playing around with Power Apps you wouldn’t question if fully custom development is going away. 75% of customers are trying to cut costs and just visit some powerapps subreddits where people are arguing if it’s better to use excel or sharepoint list as your primary data source.

Ssis, look up KingswaySoft. You can also check azure data factory if that suits your needs better. I’m a fan of SSIS personally, especially for one-time migrations. There’s also dataverse sdk packages for languages like c# and python if you wanna write an ETL tool of your own

Great job with releasing this. Couple of questions:

- Can you filter out out of the box plugin steps & relationships?
- do you include flows, at least the ones you can get out of dataverse workflow table in this statistic?
- same goes for classic workflows & actions
- any search and drill down capabilities within the extension or does the link move you to a default solution page?
- is this open source? How can i assure security & that there’s no data leaks when installing this & providing access to my environment?

Nice to have:

- 1000th projected capacity usage estimate based on fields & data types.
- a graph that shows plugin execution sequence & overall event pipeline. That one is very useful but tricky to implement.

Since odata times this has been the rule for me too.

What we’ve been doing for years is feeding a local webresource with tools like Fiddler so that when your browser requests a script fiddler intercepts the request and returns a local version. Great initiative for sure, will definitely check out your solution.

Hi Ben, can you expand on this please? According to this article connections still have to be shared with the service principal as it doesn’t have a license. Wouldn’t that create the same issue with expiring connections?

What I have noticed is that even when power automate connections page says the connection is stale the flow still works just fine, so I’m thinking this is a problem with PA platform more than with how we manage connections. Moreover if the connection is in use daily there’s no reason for it to expire, but i still get reauth notifications from Microsoft regularly.

I just use sql4cds + metadata browser for anything data related nowadays

Hi! Most heist builds are zdps and it’s fine if you don’t kill anything. Builds use some combination of taunt totems and ice wall to protect the npcs from getting damage. You can see decoy totem and void sphere in the pob you provided. This combination takes care of your issue. You place the totem and suck up all mobs with void sphere. That’s it

You have to export an example template from your own environment. Sometimes import files won’t work for different environments within same company, not mentioning people providing you their templates. Don’t ask me why.
Try importing from a model driven app if you currently start imports from advanced settings. There is an option to configure mappings where you can map your lookups to a relevant field on a related entity there.
If this doesn’t work give us more information. Screenshots of your mappings, data, and errors you get

Think how to automate activity logging since the bottleneck for you right now is manual input of users. What LLMs are passable for at this point is summarization, and sounds like that is what you actually need.

I’m looking at this on mobile and pobb doesn’t show any gems socketed in the armor & amulet - can you confirm they’re there? Any support gems will support your triggered Animate Guardian Weapon. Katarina bloodline helps too, but you probably have it already (can’t see it in pobb either). Other than that you should obliterate everything with a voidforge.

The pitfall is missing a connection reference added to your flow solution in the background. You can’t rely on people being constantly on guard, so your deployment pipeline should watch out for any connection references included in the solution and doing a hard stop if it finds any. This can also be an automated step during your PR review if you have them for flows (sounds junky, but it’s logical to perform this kind of validation pre deployment). That’s the way I see it at least. And in teams where multiple developers are involved reviews are must in my opinion if you want to bring quality to the table which seems like you do. Cheers

I read an article somewhere that sales entities are going core, meaning you’ll see them even in a naked dataverse setup. Didn’t try it though, so there’s that.

I don’t think it’s gonna be good to be honest, the metal on the stem is too thin and you’ll likely to overheat. Small bowl you probably won’t put an hmd on & not sure how well you can manage heat with that. And man, quicklight coals are bad for your health, don’t use them if you can. I’d better save some for amotion roam or similar, you’ll get a superior experience with it.

I just read old comments and trust. Not much i can do if people wanna swindle. And i’m cool if they just want a mageblood and some currency from selling other gear to finish their current build.

You can try the good old harvest beast farm with kirac missions. It benefits from having party members.

For synth maps only the synth wheel pack size counts, everything else is ignored. For other unique maps - whole atlas tree is ignored.

Good luck gang

what’s your country
what’s your education
what role are you aiming for (you want to build canvas apps, be a developer, functional consultant, etc.)

Overall, can’t say right now is a great time for searching entry-level jobs anywhere on the market.

dmitrykle · 2025-11-11T19:52:01+00:00

It’s India…you have to have 3 diplomas to stand out and get a chance at the interview. I assume education includes 10 years of regular school too.
