This aside, we cover the new caching improvements in server-side logic, whether Power Fx has any reason left to exist, and why SPA might be the most overloaded three letters in the Power Platform right now.

Still no built-in way to clear it programmatically and Nick Doelman's post from 5 years ago lives on. Is Power Fx dead in Power Pages? It never offered anything Liquid couldn't already do besides syntax sugar and a deployment headache. SPA support in Power Pages traces back further than you'd think: the old Customer Insights Journeys events portal. The real reason to host a SPA inside Power Pages instead of standing it up on its own. PCF vs. SPA A Power Pages plugin for GitHub Copilot CLI and Claude Code. The verdict: "We are definitely not the target audience."
