Logic Apps?
Logic Apps
Azure App Service is a fully managed PaaS (Platform as a Service) for
developers that makes it easier to build web, mobile, and integration apps.

Logic Apps?
Logic Apps
Azure App Service is a fully managed PaaS (Platform as a Service) for
developers that makes it easier to build web, mobile, and integration apps.
Concepts
Workflow – modeling your processes
Managed APIs – connectors to data/services
Triggers – connectors as a trigger (poll/push, e.g. mail, Twitter, …)
Actions – connectors as actions (do something…)
BizTalk capabilities – validation, transformation, rules, …

Logic Apps support for Visual Studio!
Support for Logic Apps since Azure SDK 2.7
Add your logic apps to source control!
What’s new in Logic Apps? (1)

More
Re-use existing BizTalk mapping file (.btm) – Full support for custom
functoids and custom code
New BizTalk connector (not part of schema update)
New action cards for loops
New “scope” concept: nesting conditions and/or components
Added tracking and chain tracking
Addition of context to track custom properties

Condition improvements
Nesting conditions is now as simple as adding an action in the correct
branch
More compact

Foreach loops
Now moved from code view to designer
Supports only one action for now 
=> create new logic app to call

Do until
Gets own action card

Introduction of Scopes
Multiple actions can be executed as a single “group”
If all actions succeed, status is Succeeded
If any action fails, status is Failed

Other improvements
You can now rename action cards (up to 80 chars, charset limited)
Tracked properties are now “a thing”. Will be tracked in diagnostics (enable!)

Important
Logic Apps Schema definition changed
Existing Logic Apps will not be updated automatically

Still waiting for…
Proper Exception handling -> implement like BizTalk orchestration?
Multiple actions in a loop (ForEach and DoUntil)

Combining BizTalk and Logic Apps…
New Patterns: solicit/response, request/response, fire/forget
Polling HTTP endpoints
Run Logic Apps on schedule
Consume BizTalk capabilities (e.g. BRE)

B2B/EDI capabilities introduced
Enterprise Integration Pack Preview – Centralize artifacts when integrating
with trading partners.
Integration Account
VETER (Validate, Extract, Transform, Enrich, Route) Pipelines as a Logic App
New Compose function
AS/2, X12 support in private public preview since today. EDIFACT, TPM &
party resolution to be added later
Enterprise Integration Pack (1)

Enterprise Integration Pack (2)
DEMO

Microsoft Flow
Automation made easy
aka Logic Apps “Lite”
Aimed at business users (non-developers)
Automate mundane day-to-day tasks
Not yet another clone of IFTT or Zapier – more conditions, branches, steps
Built on Logic Apps engine
Upcoming feature: convert to Logic App in one-click

Azure Functions
Azure Functions
Expose simple services extremely fast, flexible, scalable
µServices -> Group functions together to form a bigger service or connect
to Logic Apps
Supported Languages include C#, node.js, PHP, etc…
Can be called from Logic Apps
Can be exposed as HTTP API endpoint
Can be scheduled

Azure messaging: Service Bus
Service Bus Announcements
Azure Service Bus Premium Messaging: dedicated resources; isolation from
other customers. Up to 4 Messaging Units (1 MU = +- 30,000 msg/sec, more
possible via MSFT support)
Azure Stack will contain both Windows Service Bus and Azure Event Hubs,
but not for this year. Service Bus will not be free anymore!
Roadmap: AMQP support for pub/sub (via OPC Foundation workgroup)
