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 1 – storage events and Logic Apps single event listener

As we have learned in the preceding sections, Azure Event Grid has native support for multiple Azure resource components. In this example, we will connect to Azure Blob events via a Logic Apps workflow as follows:

  • The Azure blob storage container will emit a blob event when a blob is added, modified, or deleted.
  • Logic Apps will listen to the blob events through Event Grid or a webhook trigger.
  • For each blob event, Logic Apps will route the event details to an Office 365 email account:

To get started with this example, you need to create a v2 version of a storage container in your resource group. To create a Storage account in your Azure subscription and resource group, follow the instructions described here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-quickstart-create-account?tabs=azure...
