Azure App Service includes Introduced in March 2015 Logic Apps (New!) and API Apps Web Apps, formerly Azure Websites Mobile Apps, formerly Azure Mobile Services @AmieSeisay
API Apps REST based web service API apps are also referred as Connectors Connection end points to external systems Some of the connectors are capable of Hybrid Connections Capable of running in customers on-premises environment Exposes the on-premises systems seamlessly as Azure API apps. On Premises Setup Store agent file on your server @AmieSeisay
Swagger 2.0 Contains metadata used for API Apps A framework for describing, consuming, and visualizing RESTful APIs Sample: http://petstore.swagger.io/ JSON Format Visualization @AmieSeisay
Whats Swashbuckle? Not these guys Source: Noise Creep http://noisecreep.com @AmieSeisay
Swashbuckle Seamlessly adds a Swagger to WebApi projects! https://www.nuget.org/packages/Swashbuckle In Visual Studio, run the below command in Package Manger: @AmieSeisay
Custom API API apps can be built in any technology (Node.js, Java, .NET, etc), Requirement: the metadata is clearly defined according to Swagger 2.0 definitions Authentication is handled through adding keys and Azure takes care of the rest! @AmieSeisay
Logic Apps Used to automate workflows and business processes Can be set to run automatically as your app is called, when a record is saved in a database, or on a time interval Built either by declaratively using a JSON file or using Logic/Workflow designer Performs tasks like: create/retrieve a record in a database send an email or SMS message post a message on Facebook or Twitter or Yammer schedule a meeting/reminder in Office 365 @AmieSeisay
Triggers Poll trigger Client (Logic App) polls the API app for notification of an event having been fired HTTP method: GET Push trigger - Client is notified by the API app when an event fires HTTP method: PUT @AmieSeisay
Common REST API Error Codes https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dd179357.aspx @AmieSeisay
Gotchas! Logic App When using Poll Triggers in your, don t hit Run Now If you do, you will receive this error message: {"code":"InvalidTemplate","message":"Unable to process template language expressions for action 'office365connector' at line '1' and column '11': 'Template language expression can not be evaluated: the property 'outputs' can not be selected.'."} Run Now is for manual execution of logic apps that need to run sporadically. @AmieSeisay
Gotchas! SQL Connector Change default table information for Polling View the Host > All Settings > Application Settings @AmieSeisay
Gotchas! SQL Connector Prevent infinite polling in PollingStatement SELECT * FROM [ChangeRequests]; DELETE FROM [ChangeRequests] @AmieSeisay
Gotchas! SQL databases in Azure Change firewall settings so that you can work with in Visual Studio @AmieSeisay
