Power Automate at Lightspeed: Supercharge Your Flows with Performance Hacks!

Ever built a Power Automate flow that runs slower than a Monday morning? You’re not alone! Power Automate is a fantastic low-code tool, but if you’re not careful, your flows can turn into sluggish, API-hungry monsters.

WHAT
In this session, we’ll cover proven techniques to optimize performance, reduce execution time, and keep your flows running like a well-oiled machine.

We’ll dive into:
– Concurrency control in loops – because waiting is overrated
– Parallel branches – why do one thing at a time when you can multitask?
– Trigger conditions – run flows only when it counts, not every time something blinks!
– Compose vs. variables – making your flows leaner and meaner
– Smart expressions – write less, do more!
– Filtering data smartly – don’t bring a truckload of data when you need a backpack
– API limits – avoid hitting the Power Automate version of “you’ve used up your free Wi-Fi”
– Batch update APIs – speed things up with fewer calls

WHY
Power Automate is designed for everyone – not just pro developers – which means a lot of flows are built in ways that work but aren’t exactly efficient. The good news? A few tweaks can make a massive difference. When optimized correctly, Power Automate can deliver real-time results, scale effortlessly, and save API calls (and your patience).

HOW
We’ll start with a quick “what not to do” showcase (yes, we’re roasting bad flow design), then dive straight into LIVE demos where you’ll see best practices in action. Expect real-world examples, plenty of “aha!” moments, and practical takeaways you can apply immediately.

TAKEAWAYS
– Make your flows 10x faster with smart optimizations
– Avoid API bottlenecks and unnecessary runs
– Use parallelization and batching like a pro
– Write cleaner, smarter, and more efficient flow

Come for the performance hacks, stay for the bad Power Automate jokes! (Why did the Power Automate flow go to therapy? It had too many triggers and couldn’t process its emotions!)
