Power Automate is great… until it isn’t. Timeouts, nested operations, and bottlenecks make you wonder if there are better tools in 2026 to migrate or integrate your data. There are!

This fast-moving, demo-heavy session will showcase LIVE all the tools within and beyond Power Automate for real performance, scale, and control.

Part 1: Power Automate — Pushed to Its Absolute Limits

• Dataverse functions and operations most people never touch
• SELECT-style operations that are a dream to maintain
• Bulk updates without death-by-looping
• Microsoft Graph API for scenarios connectors can’t solve

Part 2: Logic Apps — If Power Automate Didn’t Have Limits

• 15 seconds in Power Automate takes 15 milliseconds in Logic Apps
• Throughput, concurrency, and cost differences that change architecture decisions
• Custom code operations you wish Power Automate could do
• How Logic Apps quietly solves problems Power Automate never will

Part 3: Azure Functions, Dataflows, and Hard Truths

• Where Azure Functions shine (and where they absolutely don’t)
• Cold starts, limits, and the realities nobody mentions in blog posts
• Dataflows: what they’re great at, what they’re terrible at, and when they become a bottleneck

If you’ve ever thought “there has to be a better way,” you’re right — and we’ll show it live.
