What are the key considerations for choosing Dataverse as your primary data storage solution?

I’m working on a project where we need to move away from SharePoint lists due to growing data. We’re looking at Dataverse as an option. But I’m not sure about its limits.

How many records can Dataverse handle well in one table? We have a premium license. At what point might we see slowdowns?

Our app lets users request services in our company. Right now, it’s all in SharePoint via PowerApps. As we grow, we need something better. I think Dataverse could work, but someone on our team says it’s not good for over 50k records. They want to use SQL Server instead.

Has anyone used Dataverse for big data sets? How did it perform? Any tips or warnings? I’d love to hear real-world experiences before we make a decision. Thanks!

As someone who’s worked extensively with Dataverse, I can assure you it’s capable of handling large datasets efficiently. The 50,000 record limit is outdated information. Modern Dataverse implementations can manage millions of records per table without significant performance issues.

Key considerations for choosing Dataverse include its seamless integration with the Power Platform, robust security features, and scalability. It’s particularly well-suited for your scenario of transitioning from SharePoint lists.

However, it’s crucial to implement proper indexing and optimize your data model. Regular performance monitoring and tuning are also essential as your dataset grows. While Dataverse is powerful, it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. Evaluate your specific needs, expected growth, and integration requirements before making a final decision.

hey there! i’ve used dataverse for big projects too. it’s pretty solid for large datasets. have u thought about how you’ll structure ur data? that can make a big difference in performance. also, whats ur backup plan if u outgrow dataverse? just curious bout ur long-term strategy. wanna share more bout ur specific use case?

hey CreativeChef89, i’ve used dataverse for big datasets and it handled them fine. we’ve got tables with 500k+ records and no major slowdowns. the 50k limit is outdated info. dataverse can handle millions of records per table.

sql server’s great too, but dataverse integrates better with power platform. my advice: start with dataverse and see how it goes. you can always switch later if needed.
