While Microsoft Power Platform is a leading low-code development platform, it also offers rich capabilities which make it an exceptional development platform for experienced developers. With greater focus on digitization, there is a growing gap between the applications that an organization needs for success versus the developers who can create the applications. To close this gap, there is a rise in citizen developers, those with less coding experience, but deep business knowledge who are creating applications to meet specific challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft Power Platform enables seamless collaboration between citizen and pro developers who form so-called \u2018fusion\u2019 teams to unlock unique solutions to the most challenging business scenarios. These fusion teams are critical for the success of modern organizations as digitization requires individuals with diverse skillsets including line of business managers, department leads, as well as IT experts to collaborate in teams and develop solutions at a much faster pace. Microsoft Power Platform is one of the few development platforms which offers a low code foundation to support business experts perfectly blended with rich professional developer capabilities to support and allow fusion teams to thrive. Fusion teams were one of the important themes at <a href=\"https:\/\/mybuild.microsoft.com\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Microsoft Build<\/a> and discussed in many Microsoft Power Platform sessions.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you check out some of these sessions from Microsoft Build which dive deeper into how Microsoft Power Platform can help pro developers accelerate development times and collaborate in fusion teams to create best-of-breed solutions.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mybuild.microsoft.com\/sessions\/2b5cf127-ceb1-44dd-b3f2-c43b6e837abf?source=sessions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Build Differentiated SaaS apps with the Microsoft Cloud<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mybuild.microsoft.com\/sessions\/5ac55e8d-82e5-4b9f-b9bc-d51187761b42?source=sessions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Increase Developer Velocity with Microsoft\u2019s End-to-end Developer Platform<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mybuild.microsoft.com\/sessions\/2a64cf46-9578-4c40-b503-00ad0ec21813?source=sessions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Building Low-code Vertical Apps using the Power Platform<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mybuild.microsoft.com\/sessions\/309d47fd-5319-42cf-a54f-3a177653ab63?source=sessions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Power Platform is the Best Way for Teams to Build Together<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>T-Mobile uses new pro developer capabilities in Microsoft Power Platform<\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019re excited to share many of our recent pro developer advances in a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=D8XAGFcVAzQ&amp;list=PLXtHYVsvn_b9MQ5eu2zb9ZYNLnDWsYAeL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Microsoft Mechanics Power Platform show<\/a>. In this new video (see video 1), we demonstrate examples of how customers such as T-Mobile are using new pro developer capabilities in Microsoft Power Platform to help expedite its digital transformation strategy and execution.<\/p>\n<p>[msce_cta layout=&#8221;image_center&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; linktype=&#8221;blue&#8221; imageurl=&#8221;https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Power-Platform-Pro-Dev-thumbnail.jpg&#8221;  linkurl=&#8221;https:\/\/youtu.be\/-dwZnmqKk70 &#8221; linktext=&#8221;Video 1. Microsoft Mechanics Power Platform Pro Developer Show&#8221; imageid=&#8221;98783&#8243; ][\/msce_cta]<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll first show you how T-Mobile developers work in fusion teams to help enhance its internal project tracking app Orbit, which is currently used by over 40,000 T-Mobile employees and has been used to track over 3,500 projects to date. The app uses custom connectors to gather data from a variety of sources. In our example, we show how a custom API is created to gather data from IoT sensors and then used in the Orbit app where it surfaces as a custom connector. The custom connector is a special Azure API Management connector which is developed by T-Mobile\u2019s pro developers as a custom API in Visual Studio. From Visual Studio, the developers can now easily publish an API to Azure (figure 1). It simply requires having an ASP.Net Core WebAPI project .NET 5 or an Azure Function. With the newest version of Visual Studio, you can import Azure Functions into API Management thanks to the new OpenAPI output support that has been introduced for Azure Functions\u2019 developers using .NET. OpenAPI is now supported for Azure Functions using a new OpenAPI-enabled Azure Function template. One of the most powerful attributes of this feature is that a developer does not have to leave Visual Studio when publishing their project to Azure.<\/p>\n<p>We also show the integration with GitHub where we can create a CI\/CD workflow using GitHub Actions, allowing continuous deployment as we work on our API.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-full webp-format alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/VS_APIM.png\" alt=\"Figure 1.

Easily publish your project to Azure from Visual Studio<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Once the API is published to Azure, it appears as an Azure resource and is included as an API in Azure API Management. From API Management, we can gather a diverse set of data on the API, connect it to other services such as Application Insights, and perhaps most exciting, easily export the API to a variety of services, including to Power Apps and Power Automate. With the click of a button, the custom API can be exported and surfaces as a custom connector in both Power Apps and Power Automate (figure 2). From there, T-Mobile\u2019s citizen developers can use the custom connector in the Orbit app, demonstrating a powerful example of how both pro and citizen developers can easily and effectively collaborate to create unique, best-in-class solutions with Microsoft Power Platform.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-full size-full webp-format\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/APIM.png\" alt=\"Figure 2.

We\u2019ll show how changes made in our Power Apps canvas are reflected in our GitHub repository as a new branch in the workflow.<\/p>\n<p>The show concludes with a great example of how developers can scale their amazing apps through Microsoft Teams. With Teams rapidly becoming the digital hub for the modern workplace, developers can distribute and scale their applications and achieve greater reach by embedding and sharing them on Teams. With Microsoft Power Platform\u2019s seamless integration with Teams and with the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoftteams\/platform\/resources\/schema\/manifest-schema\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Teams manifest reference schema<\/a>, any application created on Power Apps can be easily added to Teams with the click of a button. We show this powerful example with the T-Mobile Orbit app (see figure 3) where we show the manifest JSON of the app which includes the Teams reference schema in the code and upload the app directly to Teams. This reflects another great example of how Microsoft Power Platform can be used by pro developers to share their amazing apps and solutions with larger sets of people.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-full size-full webp-format\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/integrate_to_teams.png\" alt=\"Figure 3.
