Hammad's Azure Integration Hub
Everything that matters about Azure API Management, Logic Apps, Functions, Container Apps, Azure Integration Services (Service Bus, Event Grid, Event Hubs) and App Service — capabilities, the latest architecture patterns, detailed use cases, and a living changelog that refreshes itself every week from the official Azure Updates feed.

Service deep dives
API Management
The gateway for every API — policy pipeline, tiers, self-hosted gateway, workspaces, and the AI Gateway that fronts Azure OpenAI and AI Foundry with token limits, semantic caching and MCP support.
Logic Apps
Low-code orchestration with 1,400+ connectors. Standard vs Consumption, stateful vs stateless, B2B/EDI, and AI agent workflows with the agent loop.
Azure Functions
Event-driven code with triggers and bindings. Flex Consumption, Durable Functions patterns, and Functions as tools for AI agents.
Container Apps
Microservices and jobs on serverless Kubernetes-backed infrastructure — KEDA scaling, Dapr, revisions, dynamic sessions and GPU workloads.
Service Bus, Event Grid & Event Hubs
The messaging backbone: queues, topics, sessions, dead-lettering, pub/sub eventing, CloudEvents, MQTT, and high-throughput streaming.
App Service
Fully managed web hosting — plans, deployment slots, VNet integration, sidecars, and where it fits versus Container Apps and Functions.
Cross-service architecture patterns
AI Gateway (GenAI front door)
APIM in front of Azure OpenAI / AI Foundry: token metering, model load balancing, semantic caching, MCP tool routing.
API-led connectivity
System, process and experience API layers with APIM products, workspaces and policies as the contract surface.
Event-driven architecture
Event Grid + Service Bus + Functions/Container Apps for decoupled, elastic, resilient integrations.
Async request-reply & saga
Long-running operations behind APIM with 202 + status polling; distributed transactions with Durable Functions or Logic Apps.
Serverless RAG pipeline
Event Grid + Functions + AI Search + APIM AI Gateway: always-fresh document grounding for LLM apps.
Multi-agent automation
Foundry agents + Logic Apps agent loop + APIM MCP tools + Container Apps sandboxes, with Service Bus audit and human escalation.
