Azure Logical Apps + Notification Hubs

• Azure Logical Apps : It is a serverless cloud service that helps you schedule, automate, orchestrate tasks, business process and work flow.
• You have create a workflow in design in azure logical apps with very minimal coding or no coding at all. Workflow means how to arrange the steps so that a complete e2e busines logic can be created. 
• Non technical persons can use azure logical apps for automation. 
• We can trigger workflows based on events or timers and leverage connectors to integrate applications. 
• Azure logical apps can be easily integrate with azure functions. 
• Azure logical apps can also integrate apps and data between cloud and on primises systems. 
• There are many prebuild template to get start working with azure logical apps. 
• Once we create logical apps we have triggers eg When message recived in a azure message queue, HTTP request is received, Event grid resource event occurs, Email recived in outlook. 

Azure Logical Apps

• In Logic Apps, workflows are created with an easy-to-use visual designer, combined with a simple workflow definition language in the code view.
• Designer-first (declarative) development
• Logic Apps is much simpler to use, but this can sometimes cause limitations in complex scenarios
• Logical Apps works on concept of connectors. There are multiple connectors already available in market. you use connectors to communicate between different logical units. 
• Logic Apps has a pure pay-per-usage billing model. You pay for each action that gets executed

Serverless means - You dont have worry about hosting, scaling, monitoring, managing and maintaning as all these thigns will be done by Microsoft Azure. 

Types of triggers we can in azure functions (can be used with logical apps as well)

Queue trigger

timer trigger

event trigger

http trigger... etc

Example: We have created a logical when ever we processed the claim. we put it back to kafka stream (azure messaging service can be used also) and from there our logical app send one update information to claim owner.
