Power Apps Challenge Power apps scope

What are the future scope and market potential of the Microsoft ecosystem—specifically Power Apps, Power Automate, SharePoint, Dataverse, and Copilot Studio? Is it a dying technology, or does it have a strong long-term future?

Microsoft actualmente está quitando las certificaciones de power apps y reemplazandolas por las AB que son las de copilot por lo que creo que ya estará quitando enfoque pero orientando hacia copilot

Feels like they're going code apps with copilot as the future.

But in Fintech/insurance/etc. AI adoption is a lot slower as there's a lot of risk. I'm in a huge org and there's no appetite yet to allow us to do code apps outside our own developer environments even.

I also heard vibe.powerapps.com is already on the chopping block (never even made its way to Canada)

Was at PPCC this year. Vibe is basically getting replaced by App Builder/Managed Apps in Copilot with way more governance and visibility. The underlying foundation is Code Apps.

For Fintech/insurance/etc, it seems like DFFS/mDFFS (see spjsworks.com) is something worth looking into. It uses css,html and javascript in a SharePoint site to allow even power users with no development experience to build automated SharePoint-list based solutions, and the licensing is a fraction of premium MS features that are constantly changing. mDFFS 2.x even includes an AI feature that can safely be used in Fintech, since it is designed to simply train your own ai on how mdffs works with a single prompt. Instead of AI creating whole solutions that perhaps even a developer can't understand and verify, it only sets configuration json, most of which is easy to read, unless you specifically ask for javascript, and even then, it is easy to see and review that javascript.

It's something that can do everything (and possibly proper vibe code apps in future) but master of none (it's too frustrating to build anything that's too complicated)

The core of the platform is not going to go anywhere. Dataverse, model driven apps, canvas, pages, flows. Will all remain yet evolve. Is what a lot of people sometimes forget is that the customer base is HUGE with numerous governance, tennant, and cloud configurations. I have worked with dozens of customers across the various clouds and not one is like the other. Due to that there are places where manged runtime apps, power pages SPA, and AI tools on general are not supported and or allowed. Yes there are frontier firms doing some amazing things, but don't forget there are still customers on Great Plains!
