My question here is when to choose Extensions or when to go Power Apps for Dynamics 365 BC, keeping in mind that we have option to create custom API by using available connections and gateway options.
Definitely debate was not intended. I am self learning BC and was curious to know about available development tools for BC and since nowadays everywhere I found people talking about power apps and it's capabilities so that's why asked this question.
Thanks for sharing info about the scenario, that's really interesting one. :)
In isolation the debate is hollow. Need the context of what the solution should provide to really know. I have scenario right now where a timer is needed which will eventually equate to how much time has been used on a job. This is best done with a power app as it has a timer control. An extension would require other coding language to support this.
I was also thinking about volume of records and delegation limitations when I was posting this question here, regarding skills Power Apps are claimed to be low code or no code so dev skills don't matters a lot. :)
Still looking for some more thoughts on it from BC Community.
I think it’s highly dependent on the users the function is intended for. If they are component BC users and you have the skills in house to DEV I say extension. Powerapps offer up a different skill set for maintaining and improving the app. The volume of records should also be a consideration as Powerapps has delegation limitations depending on the data source.
