Business value
Pipelines in Power Platform is the preferred and most adopted way of scaling application lifecycle management (ALM) across the entire organization. Customer feedback has been outstanding and has led to many new enhancements. The focus areas are:
- New and novice citizen developers can have success without needing to understand solutions or ALM.
- Built-in automation and maker self-service eliminates redundant admin tasks.
- Robust new capabilities empower code-first developers and fusion teams.
Feature details
Highlights include:
- Pipelines are on, by default. No need to set up and manage your own pipelines host (although that remains possible).
- Sharing and rollback are self-serve during the deployment and approval process.
- Admins can lock down their production environments. This helps ensure all customizations are deployed through managed solutions and no editing of production environments is required.
- Citizen developers are routed to their own development environment, rather than the default environment. Their work is automatically saved in a preferred solution and they're encouraged to deploy at the right moment, instead of using their dev environment for production.
- Citizen developers and new environments are automatically onboarded to pipelines. There are admin-configurable rule sets that ensure organizational policies are adhered to.
- Common deployment issues are pre-detected with the ability to seamlessly resolve those issues inline.
- Code-first developers can more seamlessly interact with and extend pipelines.
