Session Abstract

Power Pages has been the low-code/no-code platform for building externally facing websites and portals connected to Microsoft Dataverse. But what if you need the speed, fluidity, and modern feel of a React powered Single Page Application (SPA)? With Microsoft recently enabling code-first experiences in Power Pages + AI assisted development, makers and pro-developers can now push boundaries and rethink how solutions are built. This session explores whether building a SPA site on Power Pages is the right choice, when it works best, and what challenges come with it. Takeaways: Using vibe coding techniques for generating SPA Power Pages websites. Understand the architecture and setup required for SPA development in Power Pages. Learn the key benefits of SPAs: responsiveness, modern UX, and performance. Explore limitations and trade-offs when adopting SPAs in Power Pages. Gain real-world insights from lessons learned building SPAs compared to traditional Power Pages sites. Get practical guidance on deciding when (and when not) to choose SPA architecture.
