The 5,000 threshold is often misunderstood as a storage cap. Learn how to architect SharePoint as a high-volume operational store using indexing, point lookups, and folder-based partitioning in the Power Platform.
🧠 Overview Power Automate provides a seamless low-code experience for building automation workflows. However, behind the scenes, it is powered by the Azure Logic Apps runtime, a distributed workflow orchestration engine. While this abstraction simplifies development, it can obscure how triggers actually execute, especially for time-based triggers like Recurrence. Errors such as: WorkflowTriggerNotReady are not caused by flow logic, they originate from the underlying scheduling infrastructure. 🏗️ Execution Architecture At a high level, a Power Automate flow executes through multiple backend layers: ...
🎯 The Problem Power Automate enables rapid workflow creation, but it lacks a standardized approach for: Error handling Failure propagation Observability Cross-flow traceability As solutions scale, this leads to hidden failures and operational blind spots. 🧱 The Missing Layer Enterprise systems typically separate: Execution Logging Monitoring Alerting In Power Automate, these concerns are often mixed or inconsistently implemented. 🛡️ Introducing FlowArmor FlowArmor is a lightweight framework designed to standardize: Error handling Telemetry generation Correlation tracking Failure propagation 🧭 Architectural Pattern FlowArmor enforces a structured execution model: ...
In the rapidly evolving landscape of the Model Context Protocol (MCP), it is easy to assume that if two platforms claim support for the same protocol, they should just work together. In practice, many developers are discovering otherwise when attempting to connect Microsoft Copilot Studio directly to GitHub’s hosted MCP endpoint. This particularly affects architects attempting to reuse GitHub‑hosted MCP tooling from Copilot Studio custom actions. Despite supplying a valid Personal Access Token (PAT) and correct headers, the integration fails with a deceptively simple error: Content-Type must be 'application/json' ...
In the enterprise, the phrase “low‑code” often triggers resistance from Finance, Risk, and Information Security teams—and for good reason. The real question isn’t whether Power Apps can handle financial workloads. It’s this: How do we give the business speed without turning a System of Engagement into an uncontrolled System of Record? As a Principal Solutions Architect, I’ve consistently seen that the difference between a successful rollout and an audit finding comes down to one thing: governance architecture, not tooling. ...
If you’ve logged into Power Apps recently looking for the classic “Expense Reimbursement” or “Budget Tracking” templates to study their UI or logic, you might have noticed a glaring change: The Template Gallery as we knew it is gone. As of March 2026, Microsoft has pivoted away from standalone “starter apps” in favor of more robust, enterprise-grade deployment methods. If you are an architect or a developer trying to find these learning resources, here is the new map. ...
