History

Microsoft Power Apps was first announced in November 2015[2], while the public preview was announced in April 2016[3] and made generally available in October 2016[4] as part of Microsoft’s efforts to provide low-code application development tools. The platform was designed to enable users to create custom business applications that can run on web and mobile devices with minimal coding.

In March 2018, Microsoft introduced the Common Data Service[5] (now Microsoft Dataverse) to allow Power Apps to connect more easily with multiple data sources, including SharePoint, SQL Server, and Dynamics 365.

Over the years, Power Apps became a core component of the Microsoft Power Platform, alongside Power Automate and Power BI, integrating more deeply with other Microsoft services to support business process automation, data integration and analytics.
