Rationale
Microsoft Power Apps is a strong match for the Retool concept. It is a low-code platform for building business applications, aligning with the core value proposition. It explicitly offers drag-and-drop UI building, extensive data and API connectors, and the ability to incorporate custom code. The platform also emphasizes security, deployment flexibility, and AI integration, which are key features of Retool. While some features like version control integration and audit logs are implied through the broader Power Platform ecosystem, they are not explicitly detailed on the Power Apps product page itself as standalone features.
