- 15. #spsmad Top 3 datasource options • Familiar for makers • Easy to build row- level security • Easy to work with attachments • Free • Limited support for delegation • Search can be delegated • ”unlimited” • All users uses same login account • Cheap • Can be extended with views and stored procedures • Goodbye citizen developers • Best parts from both SharePoint list and SQL Database • Not free either cheap
- 16. #spsmad Shortly • If you can (afford) -> CDS for Apps • If you need search and you have more than 500 items -> SQL • If you have huge amount of items -> SQL • All the rest -> SharePoint

- 18. #spsmad Remember • PowerApp on older mobile phone can be extremely slow • Reduce number of screens • Reduce number of controls • Check expensive operations located in • ForAll loops • Galleries • Check delegation warnings
- 19. #spsmad Remember also... • Saving / updating several items -> Do it with Flow • Use concurrency on App OnStart • Use galleries when suitable • Use components when suitable
