Virtual Tables in Dataverse & Power Platform Pipelines

Virtual Tables in Dataverse: Real-Time Data Access Without Replication
In this session, we will explore how Virtual Tables in Microsoft Dataverse enable direct, real-time access to external data sources without importing or replicating the data into Dataverse storage. We will examine what has evolved in this capability, how it can simplify integration patterns, and where it genuinely adds architectural value versus scenarios where traditional ETL or replication remains the more appropriate option. Through a practical demonstration, we will connect an external data source into Dataverse via a Virtual Table, establish relationships, surface the data inside a model-driven app, and discuss performance, governance, and risk considerations.

Power Platform Pipelines
This session explores how Power Platform Pipelines simplify Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) across development, test, and production environments. Learn how to configure pipelines, manage solution deployments, and enforce governance without external DevOps tools. See how pipelines can be extended by inserting custom steps in the pipeline.
