Integrating large data exchange leveraging Azure CosmosDB with D365F&O using Azure Functions

Image
  Hi friends, we would be discussing today about a very powerful integration strategy: integrating Cosmos Db to D365F&O using Azure Functions. Scenario:  If you have large datasets coming to D365F&O system, and you want the data to be processed on a near-real time momentum, then plugging CosmosDB to D365F&O with Azure functions could be a very powerful option.   When should you use Cosmos Db: Azure Cosmos DB natively partitions your data for high availability and scalability. Azure Cosmos DB offers 99.99% guarantees for availability, throughput, low latency, and consistency on all single-region accounts and all multi-region accounts with relaxed consistency, and 99.999% read availability on all multi-region database accounts. Azure Cosmos DB has SSD backed storage with low-latency order-of-millisecond response times. Azure Cosmos DB's support for consistency levels like eventual, consistent prefix, session, and bounded-staleness allows for full flexibilit...

Using Fan-in, Fan-out model on Azure functions to integrate with D365F&O

  ¿Amigos, Commo estas? Fan-out/fan-in refers to the pattern of executing multiple functions concurrently and then performing some aggregation on the results. This article explains a sample that uses Durable Functions to implement a fan-in/fan-out scenario. The sample is a durable function that backs up all or some of an app's site content into Azure Storage. In layman's words: Azure functions are stateless executions, they would not able to retain anything between different calls. Durable functions allow them to retain things betweeen the calls. This article is about leveraging Durable functions to perform CRUD operations to D365F&O, that too in a real time/near real time condition.  Here is the scenario: Background: We have a large volume of incoming data payload coming through HTTP request body, and we need to make it to flow to Finance&Operations application. The following article explains how to implement a Duarable function, on such a situation, step by step.Th...
