Defining the Power Platform Solution Architecture topology

A Solution Architecture topology describes the logical and physical components that make up a Power Platform implementation. During the design process, you will likely ask yourself the question, what is the best software architecture pattern? You would then look at the wide variety of tools and services and options available within the Microsoft ecosystem and find the answer to your initial question. The answer is that there is no best architectural pattern. When designing a Power Platform implementation, Solution Architects review the platform as-is, the desired short and long-term goals, and design the architecture that is best suited to fulfill these goals. The design decision process considers technical, commercial, and business constraints, guiding the implementation toward solutions that can be achieved within budget and desired timescales.
