Key Learnings

• Validated the brand & cloud design patterns

• Hybrid is critical & a differentiator

• Feature & capability gaps:

• Out of box sources & destinations

• Pipeline templates, custom code support

• Long running workflows, parallel execution

• Needs a lot more investment!

Logic apps for orchestration across API apps1. Implicitly – whenever you

reference the output of an action you’ll depend on that action executing first

2.Explicit “dependsOn” condition – you can mark certain actions to run only after previous ones have completed

3.Explicit “expression” condition – a complex function that evaluates properties of other actions

Repeating

• Loop a single action over a list of items• Runs the action N times• You can get at all of the statuses for each

action• Tip: when you have multiple collections use:

• "repeat" : "@range(0,length(body('connector1')))"

• …• "inputs" : "@concat(body('connector1')

[repeatItem()], body('connector2')[repeatItem()])"

Conditionals

• Logic on a trigger or action• For triggers conditionals are post-

conditions• For actions conditionals are pre-

conditions

• You can do conditionals inside of repeats to perform as a filter

ArchitectureThe Azure Resource manager is a highly-scalable geo-distributed system that handles millions of resources across 100,000’s of subscriptions. Can create 200 node cluster in < 5 minutes!

Same underlying engine…

RESOURCE MANAGER

• Can handle thousands of parallel deployments per stamp

• Resilient against failure – retries with “at least once” guarantee

• Simple, declarative JSON template

• Automatically infers dependences between resources

LOGIC APPS

• Can handle thousands of parallel runs per stamp

• Resilient against failure – retries with “at least once” guarantee

• Simple, declarative JSON definition

• Automatically infers dependences between actions

… more power

RESOURCE MANAGER

• 8 functions for basic referencing and string functions

• Can only PUT resources into resource groups

• Auth must be through AAD

• Triggered manual through UI or API

LOGIC APPS

• Over 50 functions from string manipulations to math, to sets operations, to logical operators

• All HTTP operations supported on any arbitrary endpoint

• Supports many OAuth providers, AAD, Cert auth, or Basic auth

• Different ways to be triggered including recurrence

{ "parameters": { ... }, "triggers": { ... }, "actions": { ... }, "outputs": { ... }} 

Logic Apps Workflow definitions

Parameters• Re-using values, or even complex objects, throughout the

definition, which makes it easier to comprehend.• Separate out config from the definition itself, making

sharing easy, as well as across different environments.

"parameters": { "<parameterName>": { "type": "<type-of-parameter-value>", "defaultValue": "<optional-default-value-of-parameter>", "allowedValues": [ "<optional-array-of-allowed-values>" ] } }

Triggers• Evaluated at recurring intervals.

• State maintained across executions.

"<name-of-the-trigger>": { "type": "Http|ApiApp|Recurrence", "inputs": { "<trigger-specific-inputs>" }, "recurrence": { "frequency": "Second|Minute|Hour|Week|Month|Year", "interval": "<recurrence interval in units of frequency>" }, "conditions": [ "<array-of-post-conditions>" ] }

Actions• Actions could depend on other actions.• Order of execution determinate by dependencies.

• State maintained across executions.

"<name-of-the-action>": { "type": "Http|ApiApp|Workflow", "conditions": [ "<array-of-pre-conditions>" ], "repeat": "<array-to-repeat-over>", "inputs": { "<action-specific-inputs>" } }

Template Language Expressions (TLEs)JSON values in template can be literals or expressions (special kinds of strings)

• Denoted by the '@' symbol: "@exp"• Or in form of string interpolation "… @{ exp } …"

Expressions evaluation

• Static (agnostic to execution context): "@sum(3, 5)"• Dynamic (can only evaluated at runtime): "@outputs('act1').body"
