Description:

15 years too late but it's finally here: server-side logic in Power Pages.

What does it change in practice?

  • Unlike Azure Functions, it's just another Power Pages asset that can be added to Power Platform ALM.
  • Perfect for anything that is logic-lite/secret-heavy. Think payments and integrations that need secrets. Server-side logic avoids awkward workarounds using plugins, Power Automate, etc. just to keep keys safe.
  • Re-use your Javascript skills though it's not lift-n-shift from the client-side exercise. Just couple new objects to learn: HTTP client for external calls and a Dataverse object for CRUD operations.
  • There are plenty of scenarios where client-side Web API is better, like interaction with external services requiring callbacks, for example.

As Nick succulently summed it up:

It doesn't make anything possible we couldn't do before. It just makes doing a lot of things we did do before a lot easier.
