Hi All,
Should one map the backend of Power Apps to a Fabric SQL database?
The Power apps is heavily used by more than 50 users with ~100-150 data entries per hour.
And the fabric capacity is a shared one meaning there are other data ingestions job and power bi reports being utilized via the same capacity.
So is it ideal to have a heavy transactional system relying on a shared Fabric capacity?
Also based on the MSFT doc as well, it is not recommened.
What is Fabric Apps (Preview)? - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn
If the question is sharing the capacity across items, this depends on the usage of the application and its child resources [ Fabric SQL DB] based on how chatty your app is with the database. CU consumption depends on the rate of transaction on one or more items. For a scenario with 50 users with ~100-150 data entries per hour, I dont think this would be an issue with Rayfin. Heavy transactions in the doc is refelecting on thousands of users per second.
