Total Cost of Ownership on Serverless Applications- The secret sauce to keep it under control!

Expectation: One of the primary reasons why Enterprises choose Serverless Architecture is to keep the Total Cost of Ownership of the application low.

Reality: It is indeed true that Serverless Technologies cut off the precomputation cost, allow paying only for what we use, and get the server management overheads off. However, we need to consider the recurring operational cost that will add up to the TCO.

Solution: In this session I would like to share with the community the secret sauce of achieving operational excellence in supporting Serverless applications in production, hence keeping the Total Cost of Ownership under control.

The secret behind building a reactive Azure Integration Application

End-users of Modern applications are demanding. As the creators of Applications, it is our responsibility to innovate and create a reactive solution that meets the need of the users. Microsoft Azure Integration Services abstract the complexities involved and let us focus on the innovation. In this session, let us pick up a real-time scenario, create the application by choosing the right solutions from the Integration Services offered by Microsoft Azure.

The Power of Azure Enterprise Integration Platform

Things are transforming radically in the world of integration. For a decade, there were architects and integration specialists who had integration as their primary job. Now, things are remodelling in the integration space, and it is being driven by the need to increase the rate of change of business, i.e. Digital transformation.
Business depends on all kinds of mission-critical applications. Azure is built to handle mission-critical workloads with ease. Fortune enterprises started realizing Azure to achieve their mission-critical operations.
The value is lost when applications cannot integrate. The capabilities and integration services provided by the Azure platform give tremendous value to the customers within and externally.

Shift Left Azure support for operational excellence

Azure portal is powerful to build Enterprise grade business applications with ease. However, the challenge pops up in supporting them in real time. Highly skilled Azure experts are involved in support tasks, they should instead be utilized for business innovation. The challenges in offloading the support to the operations team are lack of observability, lack of deeply integrated tooling for remediating, lack of end-to-end message flow visibility, the complexity involved in User management and many more.
In this session, I would like to share my learnings from working with global enterprises in defining their friction-free support strategy achieving 75% shift left of support.

Fail-proof Cloud Modernization Strategy

Cloud Modernization is a key business decision that can maximize the value derived from the business. This involves the modernization of Databases, Processes, and Applications. In my experience with Global Enterprises across Business domains, I have seen significant improvement in overall efficiency and exceeded objectives due to cloud modernization. In this session, I would like to demonstrate my learnings that will for sure be valuable to the community and help them define a fail-proof cloud modernization strategy.

Event Driven Integration Apps on Azure

Event-Driven integration helps us stay connected to the application by reacting to the events on-time. It is cheaper and more efficient than polling. The Publisher is decoupled from the receivers. If the publisher wants to enhance the applications, they can extend the subscribers without any impact. Therefore Event-Driven Integration is flexible and scalable.

Build and deploy modern apps and microservices using serverless containers

Azure Container apps is a fully managed serverless container service for building and deploying modern apps at scale. Enterprises can save costs by lifting and shifting their existing applications to containers and building microservices applications to deliver value to their users faster.
In this session let us explore the four key reasons to choose Container Service:
1. Support for a variety of application types, including HTTP APIs, microservices, event processing, and background tasks
2. Flexibility to write code using your language, framework, or SDK of choice
3. Robust autoscaling capabilities based on HTTP traffic or event triggers
4. Simple configurations to perform modern application lifecycle tasks

Wherever you are in your app modernization journey, accelerate your containerized application development while meeting your security requirements.

End-to-end correlation across Logic Apps

In this session, I would like to discuss achieving end-to-end correlation across Logic Apps, a need to have a solution while dealing with an Enterprise application involving multiple Logic Apps. Let us understand the concept with the help of a real-time scenario. This will be a demo driven session that would involve exploring the inbuilt option in Azure Logic App to achieve correlation. We shall also look at a solution offered by a third-party support tool that would be a lifesaver for Business Operations Team.

This will be a 30-40 mins session ideal for any Azure Integration Developer working extensively with Azure Logic Apps. I have this covered in a blog: https://www.serverless360.com/blog/end-to-end-correlation-across-logic-apps
