As organizations scale their use of the Power Platform, the need for robust, secure, and maintainable architecture becomes critical. This session introduces the Power Platform Well-Architected Framework—a structured approach to designing solutions that align with Microsoft’s five architectural pillars: reliability, security, cost optimization, operational excellence, and performance efficiency.

Attendees will gain practical insights into how to apply these principles when building apps, flows, and data models. We’ll explore how to choose the right components—canvas apps, model-driven apps, Power Pages, or Dataverse—based on business needs and scalability. You’ll also learn how to implement effective environment strategies, data loss prevention (DLP) policies, and role-based access controls to secure your solutions.

The session will cover best practices for Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), including using pipelines, GitHub, and Azure DevOps for solution deployment. We’ll also highlight tools like the Center of Excellence (CoE) Starter Kit and Performance Insights to monitor and optimize your architecture.
