Serverless Integration Design Patterns with Azure

By: Abhishek Kumar, Srinivasa Mahendrakar

Overview of this book

With more enterprises adapting cloud-based and API-based solutions, application integration has become more relevant and significant than ever before. Parallelly, Serverless Integration has gained popularity, as it helps agile organizations to build integration solutions quickly without having to worry about infrastructure costs. With Microsoft Azure’s serverless offerings, such as Logic Apps, Azure Functions, API Management, Azure Event Grid and Service Bus, organizations can build powerful, secure, and scalable integration solutions with ease. The primary objective of this book is to help you to understand various serverless offerings included within Azure Integration Services, taking you through the basics and industry practices and patterns. This book starts by explaining the concepts of services such as Azure Functions, Logic Apps, and Service Bus with hands-on examples and use cases. After getting to grips with the basics, you will be introduced to API Management and building B2B solutions using Logic Apps Enterprise Integration Pack. This book will help readers to understand building hybrid integration solutions and touches upon Microsoft Cognitive Services and leveraging them in modern integration solutions. Industry practices and patterns are brought to light at appropriate opportunities while explaining various concepts.

Azure Service Bus – cloud messaging service

Azure Service Bus is a multi-tenant, cloud-based service that sends and receives information between application and services. It is the oldest and most widely used member of Azure Integration Services.

As Azure Service Bus promotes asynchronous programming and works in a publish-subscribe model, various enterprises use its capability for message routing to provide decoupling for their existing solution. Azure Service Bus has grown over the years, experiencing success stories and supporting multiple languages for developers. With Azure Service Bus, you can either use queues for First-In-First-Out (FIFO) messaging or use topics to work with a publish-subscribe model.

Some of the languages that are supported for sending and receiving messages from a Service Bus queue are listed here:

  • .NET
  • Java
  • Node.js
  • Python
  • Ruby
  • The Azure portal
  • The Azure CLI
  • Azure PowerShell

The following list notes the languages supported for communication with Service Bus topics/subscriptions:

  • .NET
  • Java
  • Node.js
  • PHP
  • Python
  • Ruby
  • The Azure portal
  • The Azure CLI
  • Azure PowerShell
