Microsoft made a small tweak to the Dataverse default capacity for a single license type: Dynamics 365 Sales Premium.
The good news is: you can buy just one Premium seat and gain $640/mo worth of more storage capacity for your #Dynamics365 Sales Enterprise users!
Even if you just use #PowerApps, this one seat will boost tenant-level database quota from 20 GB -> 45 GB. For $150, it's cheaper than buying 4 GB add-on #Dataverse DB licenses.

How do you build a functional 3x3 Sliding Picture Game in Microsoft PowerApps?
In this new technical walkthrough, I go under the hood of the logic and code behind the game. I cover workarounds that are challenging for developers who come from procedural languages and robust IDEs—especially when handling the lack of native debugging and standard looping constructs.

How do you build a functional 3x3 Sliding Picture Game in Microsoft PowerApps?
In this new technical walkthrough, I go under the hood of the logic and code behind the game.
Key technical topics covered:
- Using the "Inverse Check"
- Using Timer objects
- Referencing object properties instead of hardcoding values

🟪 Claude in Power Apps 4 ways to 10x Productivity
Microsoft now integrates Claude Code into Power Pages and Power Apps to generate deployable sites and code apps from natural language in minutes. This streamlines Dataverse model setup API integration and enterprise governance.
💡 Agentic site and app generation
🔹 Dataverse integration and API generation
🎯 Governed code apps for enterprise control -
We moved the logic of our FinModeler financial modeling app, built in #PowerApps, to use the new Dataverse SDK for Python.
It used to take ~10 minutes to generate the full Excel workbooks with dynamic formulas. Now, the same output takes a few seconds.🤯
Yeah, using Office Scripts and Excel as the engine originally was a bit crazy. But it was the #lowcode way for us #PowerPlatform folks. Now, with #Dataverse, #Python and some Azure Functions, we're on another level.💪

🟩 Stop Clicking Export — Dataverse + Azure DevOps
Ready to ditch manual "Export Solution"? I watched a concise tutorial that shows how Azure DevOps pipelines enable traceable, automated Power Apps deployments. 🚀
💡 Automate deployments with clean commits—no XML chaos
🔍 Sync work items and statuses between ADO and Dataverse
⚖️ Improve visibility, reporting, and compliance -
You can now check how much #Dataverse storage capacity different Power Platform and Dynamics 365 licenses give you, using this Dataverse Capacity Calculator I created:

Here's how the Dataverse database capacity increases, based on whether you have Power Platform, Dynamics 365 CRM or Dynamics 365 ERP licenses as the "top" SKU.
As a reminder, #Dataverse add-on capacity is expensive AF. $40/GB, per month. So, #Dynamics365 CRM customers now get $9,600/y worth of new GBs. With #PowerApps or #PowerAutomate premium, you get half of that. With ERP - well, you're already paying a fortune for D365 FinOps anyway.😜

My #PowerPlatform bookmarklet now copies not just the Dataverse table columns and types into your clipboard, but also the choice column (picklist) values. These are traditionally tedious to get from the #PowerApps maker portal. Now, you get them from #Dataverse with one click on a bookmark:

🟪 Harnessing the Power of Data Structure to Build Resilient Power Apps
Too often, Power Apps makers jump into app building—without giving enough thought to data structure. In Ep. 55 of #PowerTalks, Griffin Lickfeldt from Citizen Developer explains why getting this step right from the start is critical for building scalable, secure, and AI-ready apps.
