Do you think this solution can be used by developers or is it only for employees who seek to build apps quickly without having any special coding abilities?

This is more of a business-catered solution, in my experience. If you have used it before, you know that some of the steps to build an app even resemble PowerPoint. Though it has different builders, creating an app through Microsoft Power Apps is all about the simplicity of the process, supported by the no-code interface. This alone means that every employee at your company can have a go and create a website or an app using this solution. The only purpose I would say it may serve a developer is to build prototypes of products on it. But otherwise, it is mostly for regular employees.

Microsoft Power Apps is created to facilitate the business but can definitely be helpful for developers as well. On one hand, this is great for rapid application development, because developers can quickly create prototypes on it and work for a final product once the client has approved them. But there is more - there is a special platform for developers where they can follow specific elements and data about the applications. This platform can be used by other employees too, but developers can make the most use of it as it provides them with crucial data for their work.

Can this solution completely replace manual coding for applications, or do you still need a developer for more complex ones?

This platform is suitable for more simple apps. If you are looking to create complex applications that you need to be running fast on your computer, then you cannot really rely on it. However, if you have a developer on your team, you can provide them with access to Power Apps to create a prototype of the application there first. The platform is amazing for this purpose. It will give your developer a place to see what the end product may look like and from there, they can develop it manually. Power Apps also has a special platform for developers within it, so it is quite useful for them to track data and app performance.

I think Microsoft Power Apps can replace a developer for websites and applications that do not require features that are too complex. This solution is built to help regular users make apps for mobile and web as well as websites without the help of specialists. For that, it is great. The tool feels just like you’re making a presentation with PowerPoint, so everyone can use it. However, if you seek to make something super complex, obviously this is not the platform to do that. Your developers can have a go at it, but it is code-less so it can go very far for difficult solutions. But if you would like, you can make a simple version of your app on Power Apps, try its features, see what works and what does not, and then build the end product separately.
