More than once I was brought to fix some customers low-code applications, when they reached those edge cases no citizen developer even thinks about. Or just grow to handle more data than the initial thoughts. Did you know Power Apps can fetch a maximum of 500 records only? Which you can increase with an obscure setting to 2000, but that's the absolute maximum? Do you think the citizen developer reads those specifications?
- phil-martin 2y agoI developed a what I would consider a pretty small application with Power Apps, and it was an incredibly impressive platform. Internal application, about 200 users, 2000ish records of data generated each day. However, I wouldn’t want to build anything in it again. The amount of gymnastics required to work with and around those kinds of limitations (500 records) through pagination, error checking, retry logic. I ended up needing to implement things I wouldn’t want even my worst enemy to maintain. Definitely nothing wrong would expect a citizen developer create or maintain. But it’s ability to easily bring together multiple data sources, consistent uni-directional dataflow, and lots of other things made it a rally nice platform to work on
