Creating high performance low-code workflows for Business Central: what's new in Azure Logic Apps

11:15 - 12:00 Salon Pasteur Back to event schedule

One of the common requirements in Dynamics 365 Business Central projects is to efficiently handle integrations between systems, to handle complex processing of documents or complex message orchestrations and to overcome the operation limits of Business Central APIs. Low-code approaches for creating such workflows are often one of the first technical choices for Business Central partners. But partners that start in the wrong way (for example abusing of Power Automate) quite immediately run into a variety of problems such as poor performances, scalability, and unsatisfactory throughput for handling their processes. How to solve these common problems? Azure Logic Apps provide a way to simplify and implement scalable integrations and workflows in the cloud. In this session we'll go in depth into the new Azure Logic Apps Standard platform and we'll see how to use a set of new features (currently in preview) for creating high performance low-code workflows for Dynamics 365 Business Central. We'll see how we can use Visual Studio Code for designing our stateless and stateful workflows, how to inject custom .NET code in actions where performances are poor, how to efficiently handle large batch data processing and how to design workflows for high throughput. This session will change the way you will design your Business Central future integrations! It will show you lots of new and upcoming features and it will provide tips and real-world scenarios for creating workflows that flies.
