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.

Example 2 – Concurrency control and singleton patterns in Logic Apps with schema validation

When we are working in the cloud and connecting to multiple distributed systems across multiple regions, one of the basic requirements is to control the number of incoming and outgoing connections. A good example of this is a bank transaction, which defines a singleton pattern. Another example would be single-threaded communication with systems such as Salesforce, where you need to limit the read and write operations against the SaaS platform. Logic Apps has built-in support to cater to this critical enterprise requirement.

In this exercise, we will go through a few examples, demonstrating how you can work with concurrency control and singleton patterns within Logic Apps using operations and runtime configuration.
