Suppose you want to learn more about Azure Integration Services, migrating existing solutions to Azure Integration Services, or what to do with your existing BizTalk Server Environment.
In that case, this site is the place for you!
I offer many resources to learn more about any of these topics including blog posts and videos.
What is Azure Integration Services (AIS), you say? AIS is a collection of Azure Services typically used for data and system integration. This includes services like Logic Apps, Service Bus, Functions, API Management, Event Grid, and Data Factory! These are just the core services used for integration; many others are also used for integration.
