Power Pages is a great product fitting loads of use cases, but there are still some cases where it's not the best fit. In this session we will discover an alternative: Azure Static Web Apps are a great way to bring Static-Site-Generators like Hugo, Jekyll, Gatsby, etc to the cloud in a managed way. With them, you can enjoy serverless hosting of your content with the best availability and performance you will find 🚀

But contrary to what the "Static" in these names implies, these pages/apps don't have to be static at all. You can utilize a lot of APIs and other data sources to make your build process dynamic. And we all know one of the best data sources there is -> Dataverse. And it's not just reading data, you can even build forms and write data back! 😎

In this session, we will demo how you can bring your Dataverse data in your Static Web Apps and in doing so have a cost-effective way of publishing that data to a wide public audience by showcasing the real-life example of a new community portal build with methods shown in this session 🎯

Azure + Dataverse = Cost effective and interactive portals 🧨
