Solution Considerations before development

Before you build an application, you should have some thought and break down what you want to do before building. This process is often called "Solution Architecting". While we will not be taking a lot of time doing this, I would like to introduce you to the basics of it.

In our session case we will look at:

• The Front-end built with Powerapps, you can learn more on How to build a canvas app 

• The Middleware that allows us to run the background process of our Asset Manager solution. This can be configured by using Approval flows within Power Automate 

• The Back-end allows us to store all the data from our solution and to achieve this we will Set up tables in Microsoft Dataverse
