We\u2019ve been happy to see a lot of excitement about Dataverse, Power Platform\u2019s managed data service.<\/p>\n

Low code developers are getting access to Dataverse for Teams through M365 and building out solutions on Dataverse for Teams that include data powered apps, chat bots, and cloud flows.\u00a0\u00a0 As they look forward, they want to learn about additional capabilities in Dataverse and how they can upgrade them.<\/p>\n

Pro devs that have heard about Dataverse now want to learn how it\u2019s features can help them go further, faster – from the ability to get a single managed service that brings together their favorite Azure data services under a common API to robust extensibility with plugins and messaging integration.<\/p>\n

I had a chance to sit down with Jeremy Chapman on Microsoft Mechanics and we had a demo-filled discussion.\u00a0 The interview covers the topics we get asked about most and covers everything from building low code\u00a0Power Apps with Dataverse for Teams to defining business rules to creating search powered chatbots with Power Virtual Agents to a tour of pro dev capabilities in Dataverse.<\/p>\n
