Look no further! Catch up on the recommended implementation practices across Customer Engagement and Finance & Operations apps. The content is created and shared by the solution architects from Dynamics 365 engineering team. This is good starting point: https://github.com/rshanthini/Dynamics-365-FastTrack-Architecture-Insights.
Then you know that we have the default learning on https://learn.microsoft.com, but did you know that most of the content/documentation is stored on GitHub? As well as some specific Partner related resources….
Recently I was looking for the latest documentation on Customer Insights and I found the following page: https://microsoft.github.io/PartnerResources/skilling/d365-academy/business-applications/customer-data-platform/customer-insights.
Looking at how the url is constructed, you udnerstand that there’s additional content to be found here.
Following this url you can find Microsoft Partner resources around what they call: Academies and Partner Showcases.
Most interesting would be the Academis covering:
– AI & ML
– Azure Data
– Developer Velocity
– Dynamics 365
– Azure Infrastructure
– Modern Analytics
– Partner Onboarding
– Security
– Teams
– Nonprofit Resources
Have a look for your self and hope this helps!
In the “couloir” we already knew since a couple of years that Microsoft was investing in Playwright.
Customer, partners, peers,… looking at test automation for Power Platform or Dynamics 365 CE always wondered why EasyRepro is using Selenium and why there is no Playwright version of EaysRepro.
I suspect that in these odd cases it always boils down onto roadmap challenges. But no worries, the FastTrack team has you covered with a open-sourceproject to start your initial Dynamics 365 Customer Service testing.

Once you start pouring telemetry data from Dataverse into Application Insights, it’s time to review what’s happening. As we aren’t Application Insights experts, it’s always good to have some pre-defined examples. Well look no further!
The AzureMonitorCommunity created some Alerts, Dashboards, Queries and Workbooks that can get you started. Hereby the direct link towards the Dataverse assets: https://github.com/microsoft/AzureMonitorCommunity/tree/master/Azure%20Services/Dataverse
Besides Dataverse, you’ll find numerous other samples for other Azure services. Happy monitoring!
This is one that I forget regulary, meaning I know that this has to be done to ensure my Service Connection in an Azure DevOps Pipeline (classic or yaml) can for example execute a Dataverse backup.
So, first create the App Registration on Azure Entra ID.
Add the App Registration as Application User onto the Dataverse environment
In PowerShell, register the Application user as a “Management Application”:
New-PowerAppManagementApp -ApplicationId $ApplicationIdOnce this is done, the SPN/Application User, Management Application, Application Registration (what’s in a name….) can execute these more administrative actions.
