Kia Ora Techies! I recently worked on an Azure based solution which included a Logic App that communicates with few other Azure services. Developing the Logic App in the portal and integrating it with other Azure services using API connections was a pretty straight forward task. But the real challenge comes when we do this in production, where we have to put forth lots of measures with respect to security, CI/CD and deploying to multiple environments. So in today’s article, I am going to discuss how we did it and what are the hurdles we encountered.
