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.

Introduction to Azure Event Grid

Azure Event Grid is a fully managed, intelligent event routing service available within the Microsoft Azure umbrella. With Azure Event Grid, enterprise applications can leverage event-driven programming models to build reactive interfaces that can be used to connect external or internal enterprise applications. Using Azure Event Grid as a middleware messaging layer for application and interface integration helps organizations to optimize the performance of their software resources with a notification-based design pattern rather than a data pull-based operation model.

On the architecture side, Azure Event Grid follows the publish-subscribe design pattern, where one or more client applications or software systems can publish events to an Azure Event Grid topic and there will be one or more systems reacting and listening to the broadcast events through...
