- 24. #novacodecamp @pgbhoyar Advantages of Logic Apps • Saving time by designing complex processes using easy to understand design tools • Implementing patterns and workflows seamlessly, that would otherwise be difficult to implement in code • Getting started quickly from templates • Customizing your logic app with your own custom APIs, code, and actions • Connect and synchronize disparate systems across on-premises and the cloud • Build off of BizTalk server, API Management, Azure Functions, and Azure Service Bus with first-class integration support 24 Source :https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/app-service-logic-what-are-logic-apps/
- 26. #novacodecamp @pgbhoyar Why Logic Apps? • Easy to use Design Tools • Connect APIs easily • Get Started quickly from templates • Extensibility baked-in • Real integration horsepower 26
- 27. #novacodecamp @pgbhoyar Logic App Engine • Can handle thousands of parallel runs per stamp • Resilient against failure – retries with “at least once” guarantee • Simple, declarative JSON definition • Automatically infers dependences between actions • Over 50 functions from string manipulations to math, to sets operations, to logical operators • All HTTP operations supported on any arbitrary endpoint • Supports many OAuth providers, AAD, Cert auth, or Basic auth • Different ways to be triggered including recurrence
- 29. #novacodecamp @pgbhoyar Logic Apps Key Concepts? • Workflow - Logic Apps provides a graphical way to model your business processes as a series of steps or a workflow. • Managed Connectors - Your logic apps need access to data and services. Managed connectors are created specifically to aid you when you are connecting to and working with your data. See the list of connectors available now in managed connectors. • Trigger - Some Managed Connectors can also act as a trigger. A trigger starts a new instance of a workflow based on a specific event, like the arrival of an e-mail or a change in your Azure Storage account. • Actions - Each step after the trigger in a workflow is called an action. Each action typically maps to an operation on your managed connector or custom API apps. • Enterprise Integration Pack - For more advanced integration scenarios, Logic Apps includes capabilities from BizTalk. BizTalk is Microsoft's industry leading integration platform. The Enterprise Integration Pack connectors allow you to easily include validation, transformation, and more in to your Logic App workflows. 29 Source :https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/app-service-logic-what-are-logic-apps/
