Introduction

One of the main goals of Azure Functions is to enable developers to just focus on developing application requirements and logic and abstract everything else.

As a developer or business user, inventing and developing applications from scratch for each business requirement is practically impossible. We would first need to research the existing systems and see whether they fit business requirements. Often, it would not be easy to understand the APIs of the other systems and integrate them, especially when they have been developed by someone else.

Azure provides many connectors that can be leveraged to integrate business applications with other systems pretty easily.

In this chapter, we'll learn how to easily integrate the different services that are available within the Azure ecosystem.
