Complex manipulations

Logic apps is designed to handle data transformation in the background seamlessly and will update a system in real time, with most logic app runs taking less than a second to complete. Data can be worked on while the user is still using the system, which makes Azure logic apps an extension to existing and previous data transformation tools.
