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.

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.

The Logic Apps adapter

With the latest release of BizTalk Server 2016, Microsoft introduced Logic Apps adapters, which are used for communicating between BizTalk Server and Logic Apps workflows running on the cloud.

BizTalk's Logic Apps adapter uses an on-premises data gateway to form hybrid connectivity with inbound workflows running on the cloud:

Logic Apps connectivity has made it possible to use multiple connectors in the cloud in conjunction with BizTalk Server. For example, it is now possible to connect to cloud SaaS offerings such as Azure Cognitive Services, Dropbox, and Slack with BizTalk, without any custom coding or having to buy any third-party BizTalk Server adapters.
