PL-900 Practice Question: You work for a retail company that uses Microsoft…
You work for a retail company that uses Microsoft Power Platform to manage inventory. The company has a Power Apps canvas app that allows store managers to update stock levels. Recently, the app has been slow to load and sometimes times out when multiple managers use it simultaneously. You need to recommend a solution to improve performance. What should you do?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Migrate the app to use a Microsoft Dataverse database.
Migrating the app to use Microsoft Dataverse database improves performance and scalability for concurrent users compared to using SharePoint as the data source. Dataverse provides better concurrency handling, caching, and load balancing. Option A is incorrect because reducing the number of fields in a SharePoint list would have minimal impact on performance for concurrent access issues. Option B is incorrect because network connection type (wired vs. Wi-Fi) does not address server-side performance bottlenecks. Option C is incorrect because implementing a custom API adds complexity and does not directly solve the underlying performance issues with SharePoint's limitations.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Reduce the number of fields in the SharePoint list.
Why it's wrong here
This may not solve the load issue and could remove needed functionality.
- ✗
Instruct managers to use a wired network connection instead of Wi-Fi.
Why it's wrong here
This does not address the server-side performance issue.
- ✗
Implement a custom API to handle updates.
Why it's wrong here
This adds complexity and is not necessary; Power Platform provides built-in solutions.
- ✓
Migrate the app to use a Microsoft Dataverse database.
Why this is correct
Dataverse is optimized for Power Platform and can handle concurrent users better.
