I will be speaking at the 2021 Nashville Analytics Summit on Introductory Data Modeling. This is the premier data-focus conference in Nashville and is not to be missed. The conference is both in-person and virtual, so whether you can attend in person or not, be sure not to miss this one.
This is a big step forward for making PowerApps solutions enterprise-grade. You use connection references and environment variables in PowerApps, meaning that you can build an app in a Dev environment connected to a Dev data source, and then move the solution to a Test environment and connect it to a Test data source, and all you have to do is point it to a JSON file where the environment connections are stipulated.
