Citizen developers are end users who create applications from existing corporate code and systems. The Power Platform enables both IT professionals and citizen developers to build solutions. It provides a low-code platform to automate processes, analyze data, and drive business processes through apps. The document demonstrates how to build and publish a simple canvas app with the Power Platform that integrates with the Common Data Service backend.
