With the increasing prevalence of IoT devices, which are being used in a wide range of applications, from smart homes and cities to industrial and agricultural systems, monitoring thei performance and health is extremely important. However, it’s essential to remember that monitoring IoT devices involves more than just tracking device-level data. In addition, monitoring data from the IoT platform or application layer is equally important.

Welcome again to another BizTalk Server to Azure Integration Services blog post. In my previous blog post, I discussed how to send zipped messages or files. Today, we will discuss the same topic but in the opposite direction, which is also a classic requirement in legacy BizTalk Server solutions: How do you receive zipped messages (files)?

In today’s contemporary landscape, organizations produce more data than ever, which needs to be collected, stored, analyzed, and retained, but not necessarily in that order. Historically, most vendors’ analysis tools were also the retention point for that data. Still, while this may first appear to be the best option for performance, we have quickly seen it creates significant problems.

The net result of an AI-powered optimization process is not only a better data experience, but also increased developer productivity. Once the teams are aware of what can be automated, the improvements can not only speed things up but reduce costs.
