Extending Business Central with Azure Services: A Developer's Guide
Business Central integrates with several Azure services that can extend your solutions beyond standard functionality. This session covers five key Azure integrations: Blob Storage for file management, Key Vault for credential security, Application Insights for monitoring, Azure Functions for .NET interoperability, and OpenAI Service for AI capabilities. I'll demonstrate the AL code patterns for each integration, explain when each service is most appropriate, and discuss implementation considerations including costs and performance.
