Welcome again to another BizTalk Server to Azure Integration Services blog post. In my previous blog post, I discussed how you can implement the aggregation mapping pattern inside Logic Apps. Today, I will address a very interesting BizTalk Server topic and how we can redesign our solution to implement the same capabilities inside Azure Integration Services: How you can migrate a BizTalk Server content-based routing solution with LOB Adapters – in this particular case, SQL Server.

Have you ever struggled with keeping up with the changes in your virtual data center needs and the savvy, precise Reservations you planned and purchased?

In this blog, we will explore the differences between these two cost-saving mechanisms and help you decide which one is right for your organization.

Azure Cosmos DB, offered by Microsoft as an integral part of the Azure cloud platform, is a multi-model database service with a global distribution. It efficiently partitions data for the creation of exceptionally scalable applications. Being a fully managed solution, Azure Cosmos DB relieves you of the responsibilities associated with database administration. It takes care of management tasks like updates and patches automatically.

It is vital to understand the price of Azure Logic Apps for multiple reasons, regardless of whether you are a developer overseeing their implementation or a business wishing to use the platform for your operations. Understanding the pricing model facilitates efficient budget planning and allocation for your tasks. You can avoid unforeseen expenses and make more accurate cost estimates.

As cloud adoption expands, subscribing and provisioning resources increase day by day. Regular analysis and assessment are essential to monitor usage, ensuring that cloud resource spending remains efficient and minimizing waste. The assessments can be made using many ways but will need some level of technical competence and regular maintenance: Not all stakeholders will have access and the necessity to check through these tools.

Azure Key Vault is a cloud-based service provided by Microsoft Azure for managing and safeguarding cryptographic keys, secrets, and digital certificates used by cloud applications and services. It offers a secure and compliant way to store, manage, and control access to these sensitive pieces of information. Key Vault is designed to help protect the confidentiality and integrity of data, enhance the security of applications, and simplify key management tasks.

The Azure Integration Account is part of the Logic Apps Enterprise Integration Pack (EIP) and serves as a secure, easily manageable, and scalable repository for the integration artifacts that you create. You can create and store agreements, certificates, maps, partners, and schemas in your integration account and refer them seamlessly across all your Logic Apps. This streamlined approach facilitates the swift and hassle-free creation of B2B processes using Logic Apps.

Power Automate is a cloud-based service that Microsoft provides as part of Power Platform. It allows users to create automated workflows integrating various applications and services. It is designed for a wide range of users, from business professionals looking to automate daily tasks to developers who can create more complex automation.
