Microsoft Power Apps is a suite of apps, services, connectors, and data platform that provides a rapid development environment to build custom apps for your business needs. Using Power Apps, you can quickly build custom business apps that connect to your business data stored either on the underlying data platform ( Microsoft Power App ) or in various online and on-premises data sources (such as SharePoint, Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, SQL Server and so on).
Apps built using Power Apps provide rich business logic and workflow capabilities to transform your manual business operations into digital, automated processes. In addition, apps built with Power Apps have a responsive design and can run seamlessly in the browser and on mobile devices (phone or tablet). Power Apps "democratizes" the business app building experience by allowing users to create rich, custom business apps without writing code.
Power Apps also provides an extensible platform that allows professional developers to programmatically work with data and metadata, apply business logic, create custom connectors, and integrate with external data.
Microsoft Power Apps for developers
Developers are app makers who can write code to extend the creation and customization of business apps. Developers can use code to create data and metadata, apply server-side logic using Azure functions, plug-ins and workflow extensions, apply client-side logic with JavaScript, integrate with external data with virtual entities and webhooks, build custom connectors and embed apps into the website experiences to create integrated solutions.

Dynamics 365 apps, such as Dynamics 365 Sales, Dynamics 365 Customer Service, and Dynamics 365 Marketing, also leverage the underlying Dataverse platform used by Power Apps to store and secure data. For example, with Power Apps and Dataverse, you can instantly build apps based on your core business data that is already used in Dynamics 365 and you don't have to do any integration.
