Azure Logic Apps

Azure Logic Apps is a workflow service for connecting APIs, schedules, Azure resources, and approval or automation steps with low-code building blocks.

Azure Logic Apps runs workflows. A workflow might start on a schedule, respond to an HTTP request, watch for an event, or call another service.

Logic Apps are useful for glue work: stop virtual machines overnight, call an Azure Function, post to a webhook, process a message, or loop over tagged resources. You can do the same things with code, but Logic Apps are often quick to build and easy for other people to inspect.

The trade-off is that complex workflows can become hard to debug. Keep steps named clearly, log the values you will need later, and move anything awkward into an Azure Function instead of building a maze in the designer.
