Very comprehensive review of what is a broad topic. I found it really helpful.

"Microsoft Power Platform Enterprise Architecture" is book with 497 pages, 3 sections, 10 chapter and one appendix (typically i would not list an appendix here, but this appendix is different...).Let's walk through the sections:Section 1 is named "The Basics" and contains 2 sections as introduction. For all readers who are new to Power Platform: Section 1 is a nice summary. Section 2 is an introduction to M365 + Microsoft Azure. And because of Power Platforms strength to integrate with especially these two platforms (and many other things), it is really a good idea by the author to give a brief summary. After that you will at least know the key service on M365 and Azure, which are most relevant to Power Platform.Next section is "The architecture". From my point of view, the most important (and for me helpful) section of this book. This section consists of 3 chapters.Chapter 3 is an overview to all tools, portals and script packages, which are available. This sounds a little bit overwhelming, but it is extremely good structured from infrastructure, over technology to clients, from administration to monitroing, and so on. In addition some best architectural best practices are shown (from my point of view an additional chapter should have been used for this topic). It is really nice to see 5 different options for dev/test/prod architectures.In chapter 4 focuses more on the development side: Maker portals, designer portals, builders, studios, dev tools, ...Chapter 5 comes up with ALM (application lifecycle management). This is really crucial for setting up an architecture for Power Platform. Here you can find everything about solutions, (Azure) DevOps, pipelines, GitHub integration, etc. Really helpful.The last section "the implementation" was for me not really convincing.Chapter 6: that was a summary about project strategies (waterfall vs. agile), etc... Not really related to Power Platform at all.The only really good chapter in section 3 was chapter 7: MS Power Platform security. This covers really everything: Azure AD with MFA, conditional access, Power Platform teams, AAD groups, dataverse permissions, ... All these tiny details you should be aware and you should adjest them carefully to your Power Platform.Chapters 8, 9, 10 were deep dives into the dataverse. How to sync data from M365 (sharepoint, mailboxes and so on) into the dataverse. Or how to migrate data. These are good points and you should be aware of these topics, but all this data architecture things are not related to Power Platform - that is more a global architecture for companies. And to really get into these topics, the book misses details...Last thing is the appendix: This is really cool. It is just a summary of the chapters 3, 4, 5, 7 and 10. So the ones i liked most. :)Final words: An excellent book with mostly a perfect level of details, so you can read that on a weekend or for a week. Thanks to the author: Well done!

Imagine this scenario: You're an experienced software architect who has never delved into the realm of low-code technologies, and the emergence of Microsoft Power Platform catches your attention. Despite your unfamiliarity, you're determined to master this technology from scratch.While there are numerous resources available, such as Microsoft Learn, blog posts, and videos, wouldn't it be valuable to access all this information in one comprehensive location? This book stands out as the finest resource I've encountered, offering a one-stop solution for gathering all the essential knowledge required to comprehend the role of a Low-Code Architect.The book takes you on an encompassing journey, starting from the fundamentals of Azure infrastructure, delving into the intricacies of security, and even exploring project management concepts. It's a true guidebook for those venturing into the world of low-code architecture.Hats off to Robert Rybaric for crafting this exceptional book. It's a definite must-have for anyone looking to excel in this domain.
