Logic Apps - A Beginner's Guide

Logic Apps helps you build solutions that integrate apps, data, systems, and services across enterprises by automating tasks and business processes as workflow. Logic Apps is a cloud service in Azure that simplifies how you design and create scalable solutions for app integration, enterprise application integration (EAI), and business-to-business (B2B) communication both in cloud and on-premise.

Logic App Patterns and Best Practices

Logic Apps was released in July 2016 for the public and has since then evolved into a leader in the integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) space in two years. Moreover, Logic Apps succeeded Microsoft's first attempt at offering an iPaaS in the Cloud - BizTalk Services. It later received some updates and branded as Microsoft Azure BizTalk Service, MABS for short - a version 2 of BizTalk Services. However, MABS was deprecated, and both the VETER pipelines and the EDI/B2B functionality Microsoft moved to Logic Apps.

Best Practices for Multi-Account AWS Deployments

This guide will give you key strategies for deploying the same application on multiple AWS accounts. If you have multiple AWS accounts running, multi-account deployments make often make sense.

Event Grid Delivery and Retry Policy

Azure Event Grid facilitates building event-driven serverless apps that can effectively solve a real-time business problems with a focus on the core logic rather than the infrastructure. Event Grid is designed for high availability, consistent performance, and dynamic scale. Event Grid can simplify event-based apps, as this serves as a single service to manage routing of all events from any source to any destination. Before we proceed further, it is important to understand what an ‘event’ is.

Serverless Architecture Conference 2019 - Serverless Hits the Big Time in Berlin

I never thought that this would be my life. For more than a year, I’ve been talking to individual customers and getting inspired by their stories, challenges, and goals. Now, I have the spectacular opportunity to meet entire conference rooms of people who are excited to hear about my story, challenges, and goals. This is my time to give back to the types of users who have inspired me ever since I entered the serverless space.

Using the 'Run a Child Flow' Action to Call Nested Flows

Calling a flow from another flow is nothing new. Makers can wire up multiple flows using the HTTP Request Trigger and HTTP Action. While this is possible, it creates additional friction as makers have to manually construct request and response messages using JSON. Microsoft recently provided first-class support for calling a flow from another flow by introducing a new action called Run a Child Flow.
