Integrate 2017: Day 2 Logic Apps and Azure Functions Highlights

Day 2 was awesome, very intensive if we talk about Logic Apps, with very good presentations.

We began the day with the "Microsoft IT journey with Azure Logic Apps" presentation by Divya Swarnkar and Mayank Sharma. They talked about they experience doing integrations with the iPaaS model and their learnings:



After, Jeff Hollan and Derek Li did one of the best presentations at the moment of the Integrate 2017, "Azure Logic Apps - Advanced integration patterns". In this session, Jeff explain us the designing insights of the Logic Apps, based on an React app, that uses OpenAPI (Swagger) to render inputs/outputs and that generates a JSON workflow definition.


Also they explained how runs internally the Logic Apps, how the Logic Apps runtime breaks the workflow definition in a composition of task.


At the "extra time" Jeff explained how expressions works, but this need a full post to explain it, I promise it in the next days :-)

The next session was for Jon Fancey, "Enterprise Integration with Logic Apps". In this session Jon explained the use of the new Batch functionallity with a Demo:



Then he explained the Integration Accounts, doing an introduction of their features and components. The most interesting thing of this part of the presentation was the use of XSLT parameters inside a Map and how this can increase the performance for static configuration values:



At the end he announce the next improvements in Operational Monitoring, with the new query engine, shared with AppInsights.


There was more presentations, but these are my selected highlights from today sessions. I need to share an special mention to the Kent Weare session, "Give your Bots connectivity, with Azure Logic Apps" so amazing, I think is better for you that show the video when it will published ... so amazing!!
