Azure App Service is a platform as a service (PaaS) offering from Microsoft Azure that allows developers to quickly build, deploy, and scale web apps and APIs on Azure. Azure App Service is designed to be highly scalable, allowing you to easily scale your application to meet changing traffic demands. One of its most important features is auto-scaling, which allows your application to automatically adjust the number of instances it’s running based on changes in traffic or demand.

At Lumigo, we heavily depend on a set of tests to deploy code changes fast. For every pull request opened, we bootstrap our whole application backend and run a set of async parallel checks mimicking users’ use cases. We call them integration tests. These integration tests are how we ensure: Recently, we changed our old “traditional log traversing” of integration tests into *amazing* OpenTelemetry traces graphs.

Today I will speak about another useful Best practice, Tips, and Tricks that you must consider while designing your business processes (Logic Apps): How to check if a parameter or a string is Null or Empty.

No matter how complicated your monthly cloud bill, all spend in the cloud is premised on a very simple formula.

Azure Blob Storage is a cloud-based storage solution provided by Microsoft as part of its Azure platform. It enables users to store and manage unstructured data such as text, images, videos, and binary data in the cloud. This makes it a highly scalable and cost-effective way to store large amounts of data without having to worry about hardware maintenance or infrastructure management.

As enterprises build and scale business-critical applications on Azure, they need continuous visibility to understand the health and performance of their services. This can be a challenge, especially for enterprises with large-scale deployments that include an ever-increasing number of subscriptions, resources, and teams.

Azure Logic Apps is a cloud-based service provided by Microsoft Azure that allows users to create and run automated workflows. A trigger is the first step of a workflow that specifies the condition for running further steps in that workflow. Azure Logic Apps creates a workflow run each time the trigger fires successfully. The details of each run, including the status, inputs, and outputs of each step of the workflow instance, can be accessed in the run history section of the Logic App.

End-to-end visibility into pipelines is crucial for ensuring the health and performance of your CI system, especially at scale. Within extensive CI systems—which operate under the strain of numerous developers simultaneously pushing commits—even the slightest performance regression or uptick in failure rates can compound rapidly and have tremendous repercussions, causing major cost overruns and impeding release velocity across organizations.
