Webhooks, those wonderful little lifelines connecting one application to another, have become an essential part of our app notification world. They help keep your systems in the loop, notifying them immediately when events of interest occur. This real-time communication ensures that your applications remain responsive, adaptive, and always up-to-date with the latest information.

Organizations that invest in cloud technologies like Microsoft Azure might notice that cloud costs can easily get out of control. When cloud services use the Pay-as-you-go payment model, small amounts must be paid each time a cloud service is used. However, when you have deployed hundreds of cloud resources, the total spending can end up with a much higher monthly bill than expected. By optimizing your cloud costs, you lower your monthly Azure bill and gain cost efficiency and predictability.

If you are running a company, you might have provisioned several Virtual Machines in Azure. Those VMs might execute critical business processes like incoming orders, processing healthcare-related data, handling logistics processes, or any other processes that are important in your industry.

Azure API Management is a Microsoft Azure cloud-based solution that helps businesses effortlessly create, publish, secure, and analyze APIs (Application Programming Interface). APIs are the building blocks of any business and play an essential role in data exchange. Azure API Management monitoring is vital to enable the business to function seamlessly. It helps early problem detection, resource optimization, and data-driven decision-making to increase the quality of the API ecosystem.

Let’s embark on a new journey as we begin a series of blog posts dedicated to the migration of BizTalk Server to Azure Integration Services. I’d like to highlight that when I mention the migration to Azure Integration Services (AIS), I’m making a clear distinction from Logic Apps. This differentiation is important because, contrary to what some consultants and salespeople may suggest, migrating BizTalk Server entirely to Logic Apps is not a viable path!

AWS’s serverless technologies are popular because they provide cost effective scaling and great separation of concerns. However, observing serverless architectures like Lambda is challenging due to their transient nature and abstracted infrastructure. Unlike traditional systems with consistent hosts, serverless functions are ephemeral, often scaling rapidly and operating in isolation.

In our journeys as developers, we frequently encounter the need for speed and efficiency. But often, integrating development tools can feel like a time-consuming venture, more so than our usual build processes. If you’ve ever found yourself delving into java logs looking for needles in logstacks, you’ll appreciate the beauty of this 1-click OpenTelemetry.

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 handle special chars inside Logic Apps actions.

Azure, Microsoft’s cloud platform, has become an essential part of modern businesses, offering a vast array of services and resources. However, effective cost management in Azure is crucial to avoid unexpected expenses and optimize spending. While Azure provides its native tools for cost management, several third-party solutions offer advanced features and capabilities to help you make the most of your Azure resources. This blog will explore the top 15 Azure cost management tools.

This is the third blog in our series on Kafka, where we continue to explore the nuances of deploying Kafka for scale. In our previous blogs, Essential Metrics for Kafka Performance Monitoring and Auto-Instrumenting OpenTelemetry for Kafka, we laid the foundation for understanding Kafka’s performance and monitoring aspects. Now, as we explore further into the Kafka ecosystem, we’re here to tackle the common challenges that can arise during deployment and scaling.
