Azure Logic Apps is a cloud service that helps you schedule, automate, and orchestrate tasks, business processes, and workflows.
Why write a .NET service to talk to Salesforce, SAP, or ServiceNow? Logic Apps has pre-built connectors for almost every enterprise SaaS platform. You can build a workflow like "When a new lead arrives in Salesforce -> Trigger a .NET Azure Function -> Send a message to Slack" in minutes using a visual designer.
Consumption: Scalable, multi-tenant, pay-per-execution.
Standard: Single-tenant, runs on a dedicated App Service plan. This allows for better performance, private VNet integration, and even running Logic Apps locally on your machine or in a container.
Q: "Should I use Logic Apps or Durable Functions?"
Architect Answer: "Use **Logic Apps** for high-level business orchestration where you need many third-party connectors (IaaS/SaaS integration). Use **Durable Functions** for complex logic that is primarily 'Code-First' and requires the full power of C# (loops, complex math, custom libraries) to calculate the state of the workflow."
