So I know there is a dataverse for teams that is automatically created when you create an app in teams through power apps. But Im creating an app through app studio(also with visual studio with ms teams extension) and my app needs a database(cds) for saving the records. I tried to research about it I dont see any documentation. Does anyone know how can I use database in teams development? Or does any one know a documentation about it? I will really appreciate it. Thank youu.

Hi @user11781598, The Dataverse for Teams environment is used to store, manage, and share team-specific data, apps, and flows. Each team can have one environment, and all data, apps, bots, and flows created with the Power Apps app inside a team are available from that team's Dataverse for Teams database. For more information please check [this](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/about-teams-environment) document. – Mallipriya-MSFT Mar 02 '21 at 11:53

Within Teams, you are doing Web development and you can query any database that exposes a Web API. Dataverse should work, while Dataverse for Teams won't as currently it doesn't offer an API.
If you really need to store the data along with Teams, you could consider SharePoint libraries (for files) and Microsoft Lists (for list items).
