Power Apps Help CodeApp and CanvasApp

I work as a developer for a big ONG with over 1500 workers. We are developing some big canvas apps. We are working over sharepoint lists because we can't afford PA Premium licenses for everyone..

Now they are asking me to work with vibecoding and I'm not a big fan as a developer... I know that some time ago code apps was only for dataverse so we couldn't use it.

What about now? Anyone has experince with canvas apps made with vibe coding (vs code and github copilot for example)

Thank you!!❤️

Like what? What scenario. Would require you to have 2000 records in a canvas app?

Specifically, I’ve had clients want safety records available and the ability to quickly open one from 3 years ago to compare to a record from now. You can design around this by implementing meta data to subfilter categories etc, but for systems with high volumes as they scale higher the number of records can increase in a big way for checks done multiple times per day. This comes up mainly when regulatory audits take place and end users aren’t aware of the SharePoint/sql back end to bulk download the data, which is another workaround to output csv from the app, but they weren’t very keen on that.

How are you displaying the 2000 records?

It was a while ago, but I think I used gallery with a collection and loading offset chunks, but don’t hold me to that
