One solution OR multiple solutions for Pages/Flows/Apps/Dataverse

Posted on by JBC777

I need advice on how everyone is using Solutions and solution export/import with the power platform. My main deliverable is a Power Pages site, however to support this I have a number of Power Automate flows and a Power Apps Model app to administer the ‘back end’. Everything is in Dataverse.

Microsoft Support gave me advice that I should have everything in one solution. However, this doesn’t fit with the lifecycle; the model app and flow change far more often than the pages site.
Do you have one solution or many?

What would seem to work for me are two solutions

Dataverse / Flows / Model app. Usually, the database, flow and management are created first.
Power Pages: usually, the front end is built last, once the flow, database and admin can support it.

So, two solutions seems to make sense to me, but this is against the advice from MS Support who told me to use just one.

One solution OR multiple solutions for Pages/Flows/Apps/Dataverse

Hi @JBC777

They would not know whether you should or should not, they are not experts in using the platform itself.

Its up to you. Having them all in one solution is fine, no matter how often you update the flow etc as it has no impact on the site what so over as it will only update the stuff that has changed.

If its re-usable across multiple other projects, then it should be in a base solution to be shared, otherwise together is fine, but not because of any other reason than, I have no idea if its shared anywhere else.

Another thing to take into account, is not so much how often things change, but how many different people you have working on it. Everyone can create patches and work on the exact same solution at the same time, so its not a big deal to have all 3 of these together. separating them does not make sense to me and it doesn't matter how often those 2 things change and that the Site does not.

But these are limited click down details, but rate of change is not something I use 999.9999999% of the time. Sharability and re-use is.

If these are all dedicated to exactly the same thing.. then yeah I would put them together.

If these suggestions help resolve your issue, Please consider Marking the answer as such and also maybe a like.

Thank you!
Sincerely, Michael Gernaey
