Summary
In this chapter, we learned about Power Platform solutions, the modern executables that can move between environments, their upgrade options, and different approaches for how solution layering and versioning can be realized. After that, we discussed Dataverse, the enterprise-grade data platform with advanced security and governance capabilities. We also got familiar with the CDM, a database schema to model our data that’s accepted industry-wide. We also spent time on environments, the execution hosts of our solutions, learned about the advanced features of Managed Environments, and elaborated on the environment strategy at large-scale global enterprises. At the end of the chapter, we learned how Power Platform pipelines – as one of the greatest features of Managed Environments – work under the hood. We also successfully created our first CI/CD pipeline.
In the next chapter, we will discover the pro developer tools available for creating those CI/CD pipelines...
