In episode 15, Andrew & Julie examined the maintenance status of various Microsoft Graph SDKs. While some SDKs like .NET, Java, PHP, PowerShell, and Go receive regular monthly updates, the JavaScript SDK has not been updated in approximately two years (since September 2023). This creates significant issues for developers as the Graph endpoints have certainly changed during this time, but the typings and SDK haven't been updated to reflect these changes.

The Microsoft Graph CLI was also noted as being publicly archived and officially retired as of late August 2025.

In this episode of Code Deploy Go Live, hosts Julie Turner and Andrew Connell discuss Microsoft 365 Copilot extensibility options, Power Platform environments, and interview Wes Preston, a Microsoft MVP since 2009 who works primarily in the productivity space with SharePoint, lists, and Power Platform.

The discussion centered on the balance between Power Platform (low-code/no-code) and Pro Dev (professional development) approaches for Microsoft 365 extensibility, with a focus on when each approach is appropriate and how organizations should make these decisions, as well as the newly introduced Power Apps Code Apps (jokingly nicknamed "alPACAs").
