Tools and technologies for building exceptional Power Platform solutions

Here's my tech stack for developing Power Platform solutions, creating intelligent automations with Copilot Studio, and deploying robust Azure architectures. These tools enable me to deliver reliable and innovative solutions.

Microsoft Power Platform

  • Microsoft Power Apps

    The no-code/low-code platform I use daily to create business applications. From creative canvas apps to complex model-driven apps, it's the main tool in my arsenal.

  • Microsoft Power Automate

    For automating all business processes. From simple approval workflows to complex integrations with third-party APIs, Power Automate turns repetitive tasks into magic.

  • Microsoft Power BI

    Data visualization and business intelligence. I use it to create interactive dashboards and reports that make sense of my clients' data.

  • Microsoft Dataverse

    Secure cloud database for all my Power Platform solutions. Complex relationships, business rules, row-level security - Dataverse handles it all.

Artificial Intelligence

  • Microsoft Copilot Studio

    The revolution in conversational AI. I create intelligent chatbots and virtual assistants that understand business context and automate complex interactions.

  • Azure AI Foundry

    Unified platform for developing AI solutions. I use it to create custom AI models that integrate seamlessly with Copilot Studio and Power Platform.

Microsoft Azure & Cloud

  • Azure Functions

    Serverless functions to extend Power Platform capabilities. Perfect for custom integrations, complex data processing, and custom APIs.

  • Azure Logic Apps

    Cloud workflows for enterprise integration. Perfect for orchestrating complex processes between Power Platform and legacy systems or external APIs.

  • Azure API Management

    Centralized API management for my custom Power Platform connectors. Security, versioning, monitoring - everything needed for robust APIs.

  • Azure Key Vault

    Secure management of secrets, keys, and certificates. Essential for securing API connections and protecting sensitive data in my Power Platform solutions.

  • Azure Blob Storage

    Cloud storage for files and documents in my Power Apps applications. Seamless integration with Power Platform for content management.

  • Azure Cosmos DB

    Globally distributed NoSQL database for scenarios where Dataverse isn't sufficient. Perfect for unstructured data and global scalability.

  • Azure Service Bus

    Reliable enterprise messaging to decouple components in my Power Platform architectures. Guarantees message delivery even during outages.

  • Azure Monitor + Application Insights

    Monitoring and diagnostics for my Power Platform and Azure solutions. Custom dashboards, proactive alerts, and advanced troubleshooting.

Development tools

  • Visual Studio Code + Power Platform Tools

    My main IDE with Power Platform CLI, Azure Functions, and GitHub Copilot extensions. Perfect setup for full-stack Power Platform development.

  • GitHub + GitHub Actions

    Version control and CI/CD for my Power Platform solutions. I use GitHub Actions to automate deployments between development, test, and production environments.

  • Postman

    Essential API testing for validating Power Platform integrations. I use it to test custom connectors and debug complex Power Automate flows.

  • Docker + Azure Container Registry

    Containerization for my custom applications that complement Power Platform. Consistent and scalable deployment on Azure Container Instances.

Productivity & DevOps

  • Microsoft Teams + Power Platform Integration

    Collaboration hub with Power Platform integrations. My Power Apps are embedded in Teams, and my Copilot Studio bots serve directly in channels.

  • Azure DevOps

    For enterprise projects, Azure DevOps offers perfect integration with the Microsoft ecosystem. Planning, Git repos, deployment pipelines - everything's there.

  • Terraform

    Infrastructure as Code to provision my Azure environments reproducibly. Automates deployment of Azure resources needed for my Power Platform solutions.

  • Azure Bicep

    Native Azure DSL for Infrastructure as Code. Simpler than ARM templates, perfect for defining Azure infrastructure for my Power Platform projects.

  • Notion

    Technical documentation and project management. All my Power Platform architectures, best practices, and lessons learned are organized in Notion.
