Overview: Microsoft PowerApps is easy and can be used to build robust applications. It is common for organisations to have data store on-prem and in the post, I look at the Infrastructure to have a Power App that uses data stored on SharePoint 2016 on-prem.
PowerApps can create forms from:
SharePoint: Replace lists on a form
Desktop (think this is being removed by MS)
Online at web.powerapps.com (Preferred option to build an application from scratch)
Either choose the phone or tablet layout for your application/form.
Do not confuse with SharePoint MS Forms. SharePoint forms are for basic forms (replaces FOSL), very limited usage whereas PowerApps are the replacement for InfoPath.
PowerApps works nicely with Flows. Note: I believe Visio will be able to create Flows with.
Formula-based programming like Excel.
Can also hook to Azure Functions.
Link InfoPath, you can save the PoerApps files to move them around.
Setup PowerApp using O365
Install the "On-prem. data gateway for Microsoft PowerApps" to communicate with on-prem. Configure the outbound firewall to allow traffic thru
Connect to SharePoint 2016
