Azure Integration Services

Microsoft's integration toolkit: Logic Apps, API Management, Service Bus and Event Grid.

  • Cloud integration services
  • Typical project: 4–10 weeks
  • Microsoft

Overview

Rather than one product, Azure offers four services that work together: Logic Apps for workflows with hundreds of connectors, API Management as the gateway for APIs, Service Bus for reliable messaging, and Event Grid to route events.

You pay per use and build in the same Azure tenancy as your other workloads, which suits Microsoft-centred organisations. It is also where Microsoft points BizTalk Server customers.

Is it right for you?

Best for

  • Organisations already on Azure
  • Moving off BizTalk Server
  • Integration whose cost should grow with use

Think twice if…

  • You run across several clouds; a cloud-neutral iPaaS may fit better
  • There's no clear design; many small services quickly become hard to govern

Typical projects

  1. API gateway rollout4–10 weeks
  2. BizTalk to Logic Apps migration3–8 months
  3. Event-driven integration for an app6–14 weeks

Typical ranges, not quotes. Scope, data and team size move them most.
