By: Matthew Bennett

Overview of this book

Logic Apps are a visual flowchart-like representation of common programming actions, and are a flexible way to create logic without writing a single line of code. Enterprise Integration with Azure Logic Apps is a comprehensive introduction for anyone new to Logic Apps which will boost your learning skills and allow you to create rich, complex, structured, and reusable logic with instant results. You'll begin by discovering how to navigate the Azure portal and understand how your objects can be zoned to a specific environment by using resource groups. Complete with hands-on tutorials, projects, and self-assessment questions, this easy-to-follow guide will teach you the benefits and foundations of Logic App logic design. As you advance, you'll find out how to manage your Azure environment in relation to Logic Apps and how to create elegant and reliable Logic Apps. With useful and practical explanations of how to get the most out of Logic App actions and triggers, you'll be able to ensure that your Logic Apps work efficiently and provide seamless integration for real-world scenarios without having to write code. By the end of this Logic Apps book, you'll be able to create complex and powerful Logic Apps within minutes, integrating large amounts of data on demand, enhancing your systems, and linking applications to improve user experience.

Chapter 1: Getting Started with Azure Logic Apps

This chapter introduces us to a new way of working – the no-code revolution. Microsoft Azure makes this possible by taking the concept of a flowchart and applying it to the access, formatting, calculating, and use of data within systems. As a result, for the end user, Flow, now called Power Automate, was born, allowing interaction, alerting, and collaboration. For developers, logic apps was created, allowing large amounts of records in bulk form to be updated immediately upon a change, or saved in the frontend system. Immediate alterations and process logic are now possible without the need to write custom apps. These may be complex to write but can address problems within a matter of minutes, not days.

In this chapter, we're going to cover the following main topics:

  • Introducing the new world
  • We know the why, now for the how
  • At your service
  • It all leads to logic
  • Introducing Azure
  • Getting started with Azure Logic Apps
  • Obtaining an MSDN account
  • The Azure portal
