Platform Management: Enterprise Integration Patterns on Azure Integration Services

Posted by Paco de la Cruz on 10 December 2020

Azure, Azure Functions, Enterprise Integration Patterns, Service Bus, Azure Event Grid, Logic App

When implementing modern application integration solutions, we rely on platforms that abstract many of the challenges inherent to these types of solutions. While the Enterprise Integration Patterns previously covered in this series describe architectural and implementation patterns, the Platform Management patterns...

Message Transformation: Enterprise Integration Patterns on Azure Integration Services

Posted by Paco de la Cruz on 07 October 2020

Azure Functions, Enterprise Integration Patterns, Logic Apps, Service Bus, Azure Event Grid

It is quite common that integration solutions interact with diverse applications, each with disparate data models and heterogeneous formats. In this post, we will discuss the Message Transformation patterns and how these can be implemented on Azure to overcome the challenges derived from working with different...

Message Routing: Enterprise Integration Patterns on Azure Integration Services

Posted by Paco de la Cruz on 09 September 2020

Azure Functions, Enterprise Integration Patterns, Logic Apps, Service Bus, Azure Event Grid

In the previous post of the series on the Enterprise Integration Patterns on Azure, I explored the Messaging Endpoint patterns, which abstract integration interfaces from the application internals when building messaging-based integration solutions. In this post, I will cover the Message Routing patterns on Azure,...

Messaging Endpoints: Enterprise Integration Patterns on Azure Integration Services

Posted by Paco de la Cruz on 05 June 2019

Azure Functions, Enterprise Integration Patterns, Logic Apps, Service Bus, Azure Event Grid, Azure Integration Services

In the previous post of the series, I described how messages can be transmitted from a sender application to intended receiver applications through Messaging Channels, and how the Azure Integration Services can be leveraged to implement these Enterprise Integration Patterns. Messaging Endpoints are the application...

Message Construction: Enterprise Integration Patterns on Azure Integration Services

Posted by Paco de la Cruz on 10 April 2019

Azure Functions, Enterprise Integration Patterns, Logic Apps, Service Bus, Azure Event Grid, Azure iPaaS

When we are designing a message-based integration solution, one of the first things we need to define is how the application data are going to be serialised into messages, so they can be transmitted to other applications. The Message Construction Enterprise Integration Patterns provide documented knowledge that can...

Enterprise Integration Patterns on Azure Integration Services - Introduction

Posted by Paco de la Cruz on 08 March 2019

Architecture, Enterprise Integration Patterns, Azure Integration Services, Azure iPaaS

In the past, architecting and building integration solutions was a task that only specialised developers and architects were able to do. The tools and skills were considered niche and not every developer was able to build a manageable integration solution. Now, with the available new low-code integration platforms,...

The Logic Apps Webhook Action and the Correlation Identifier Pattern

Posted by Paco de la Cruz on 17 July 2017

Development, Enterprise Integration Patterns, Twilio, Logic Apps, Webhook, Blog, Technology

Introduction

In many business scenarios, there is the need to implement long-running processes which first send a message to a second process and then pause and wait for an asynchronous response before they continue. Being this an asynchronous communication, the challenge is to correlate the response to the original...
