This is a special 🌸 Friday Fact – April 25th Edition 🌸and for this reason, will not have video.
On April 25th, Portugal celebrates Freedom Day, a national holiday commemorating the end of decades of dictatorship. It’s best known as the Carnation Revolution—a peaceful uprising in which soldiers placed carnations in their rifles instead of firing bullets, turning a coup into a symbol of liberty and hope.
And while we’re not marching through the streets today, many of us are leading our own quiet revolutions… in the cloud.
Did you know that Azure Logic Apps are, in a way, the “carnations” of modern automation/integration? Just like the Carnation Revolution brought freedom to a nation, Logic Apps bring freedom to your workflows — eliminating repetitive tasks, manual integrations, and rigid processes.
Logic Apps are available in two powerful hosting models:
- Consumption, which is serverless and pay-per-execution, is ideal for lightweight, event-driven integrations.
- Standard, offering dedicated resources, built-in VNET integration, custom connectors, and stateful workflows — perfect for enterprise-grade scenarios and high-throughput environments.
With 1000+ connectors ready to use, Logic Apps empower you to integrate tools like SharePoint, SQL, Dynamics, SAP, BizTalk, and Outlook — all without writing custom backend glue code.
Want to go further? Combine Logic Apps with Azure AI services like Cognitive Services, Azure OpenAI, or Azure AI Search to create automations that can analyze sentiment, understand natural language, extract information from documents, or even summarize emails and tickets before routing them intelligently.
Logic Apps + AI = smart, reactive, and truly intelligent automation.
When combined with the rest of the Azure Integration Services—Service Bus, API Management, Azure Functions, and Event Grid, Logic Apps become part of a robust, scalable, and extremely flexible cloud-based middleware platform.
So this April 25th, let’s raise a (virtual) carnation to:
- Freedom from tedious manual work
- Freedom to innovate faster
- And the power to automate smarter, declaratively
Revolutionize your workflows. Viva automation, viva integration, viva Logic Apps!
