About this file

This document is a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Integration Boundary Reference guide prepared as an internal reference for the City of Atlanta's upcoming Citywide Operational Technology Taxonomy procurement. The City of Atlanta is undertaking a multi-step competitive sealed bid process to procure enterprise technology and operational taxonomy services with a core focus on Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems. The selected vendor will be responsible for translating the City's organizational strategies into comprehensive enterprise architecture deliverables, including future state conceptual architecture, roadmap, and taxonomy documentation. A pre-solicitation conference will be noticed and held to provide additional details and address prospective bidders' questions regarding the specific requirements to be outlined in the pre-qualification document.

The reference guide details critical integration boundaries and constraints for Microsoft Dynamics 365 cloud environments that vendors must consider during implementation. Key constraints include API rate limits (6,000 requests per 5 minutes with 52 concurrent connections), maximum file attachment sizes of 128 MB via Web API, bulk import limitations for records exceeding 100,000 or payloads over 32 MB, and authentication requirements via OAuth 2.0 through Azure Active Directory. Additional considerations include licensing entitlements for per-user API calls, database and storage capacity quotas, and recommended tools such as Azure Data Factory, Synapse Link, or Dataflows for large data transfers. Vendors must account for these technical constraints when designing integration solutions and may need to recommend additional Power Platform capacity or external storage solutions to meet the City's operational requirements.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 (Cloud) – Integration Boundary Reference

Executive / PMO Summary

This document outlines the known boundaries, constraints, and reference guidelines when integrating with Microsoft Dynamics 365 (Customer Engagement / Dataverse) cloud environments. It is intended to inform program and project management teams overseeing integration workstreams and vendor engagements.

Key Integration Boundaries

Category Boundary / Constraint Summary Impact

API Limits & Throttling

Service Protection API limits (6,000 requests / 5 min; 52 concurrent; 600s total execution)

Integrations may be throttled if limits are exceeded.

Use batching, retry logic, or multiple service accounts.

Licensing Entitlements

Per-user API call entitlements per day

High-volume integrations may exceed licensed capacity; additional Power Platform capacity may be required.

Data Volume Bulk imports >100K records or 32MB payloads may fail

Use Azure Data Factory, Synapse Link, or Dataflows for large data transfers.

File/Attachment Size Max 128 MB via Web API Larger files must be stored externally (SharePoint or Blob Storage).

Authentication OAuth 2.0 via Azure AD required All integrations must use an Application User with client secret or certificate for authentication.

Storage Capacity Database, file, and log capacity quotas enforced

Heavy integrations can quickly consume capacity;

monitor usage and archive regularly.
