My Company wants to use Azure CDN ( or front door with Blob and CDN profile) for its web site....but...while the service looks great, there does not appear to be a decent user interface for our business users to upload and manage content.

We have played around with PowerApps, and have come up with a half decent one, but its very slow when the datasets are very large ( 500K images ).

Does anyone know of a better solution for this ? is there another way for users to interact with the data in the blob, or is storage explorer the only thing they could use ?

any ideas/experience would be gratefully received.

    @Darren Slade

    Apologies for the delayed response. I would further explore improving the performance of Power Apps in this case.
    You mentioned that you have tried Power Apps, but it was very slow when the datasets were very large. This might be due to some performance issues that can be improved by following some tips and best practices. For example, you can use the Concurrent function to load multiple datasets simultaneously, write formulas that use delegation to filter data in the cloud, cache data in collections and variables to reduce network calls, limit the size of collections to avoid memory issues8, and enable DelayOutput for text input controls to avoid unnecessary recalculations. You can find more performance optimization guidelines in the links below

    I recommend reaching out to our Power Apps experts on their dedicated forum. They will be able to assist you and provide better suggestions.
