Generally Available: Azure Logic Apps Rules Engine
Announcing the general availability of the Azure Logic Apps Rules Engine, bringing low-code, flexible business logic capabilities to your cloud-native workflows.
Business Rules Engines (BRE) enable organizations to define, manage, and update business logic without writing code or redeploying applications. This is especially valuable in decentralized, microservices-based architectures, where rules engines help ensure consistency, compliance, and maintainability across distributed systems.
Key Highlights:
To get started, install the Azure Logic Apps (Standard) extension in Visual Studio Code, create a Logic Apps workspace, and add a Rules Engine project to begin authoring your business rules.
This release is a key milestone in modernizing BizTalk workloads and accelerating low-code automation using Azure Logic Apps.Learn more.
