One of the most important requirements in the enterprise world is to integrate different systems that can be both on-premises and cloud-based (also in different cloud providers).
In this scenario, Logic Apps provide a great variety of connectors that can integrate with different systems, and, therefore, they are a powerful tool to achieve the target.
Therefore, Logic Apps are a serverless technology, so you don't need to worry about infrastructure, and the management of them is simpler than in other technologies.
The most important benefits of using Logic Apps are as follows:
- Visual designer: You can be more productive by using the designer tool. Designing a Logic App, instead of writing code, allows you to create the app quickly.
- App templates: You can create an app starting with a template. This approach allows you to be more productive, and also allows you to reuse your app by simply creating a custom template.
- Over 200 connectors: You can connect disparate systems across different environments (on-premises, hybrid cloud, and multi-provider cloud).
- First-class support for enterprise integration and B2B: Logic Apps allow you to adapt the different message protocols that are used in the enterprise and B2B world by different systems. Enterprises and organizations communicate with each other using industry-standard messaging protocols, but these protocols are often not the same, so you need to convert and adapt these protocols in order to enable communication.
- Built-in extensibility: If you don't find your connector, or you need to write code in order to complete a special task, the Logic App extensibility allows you to do this, while also extending your app with your custom connector or code.
- Pay as you go: The Logic App infrastructure monitors your instance executions and counts what actions, triggers, and connectors you use. You pay for each execution of the building blocks in your app. If you prefer, you can choose to pay a fixed cap monthly by using an integration service environment (ISE).
