PL 400 : create an Azure Function that interacts with Microsoft Power Platform (Publish and consume events)

Function App is the beautiful concept of Azure Service App where developers need to focus on the code or business logic and it also provides the ability to develop those code in multiple languages. If we analyze it carefully, we will find that it facilitates the separation of concerns along with the essence of the infrastructure. In Azure Functions, a function app provides execution context for different functions. The most important fact is that it provides logical unit which can work according to events or scheduler.

In the Microsoft Dataverse, Plugin is mechanism where developers can wire their custom code. those custom code runs under the event framework to run the specific events. Plugin is a .NET assembly that we can upload to the Microsoft Dataverse and can be registered to specific events within event framework. Function app can't be replace the plugin, but it can assist to offload the burden of custom code. Let us discuss about the features of both mechanisms to leverage according to business usages.
 

Write an Azure Function that processes Dataverse Events:

  • Write the Azure Function which contains the HTTP trigger and implement the Remote Execution context.
  • Build function and publish it to Azure.
  • Register a Dataverse webhook that call the new custom develop Azure function with help of plugin registration tool.
  • Register a new step with post operation a message

PCF vs. Web Resources: Choosing the Right Extensibility Tool for Dataverse

Extensibility refers to the ability to be extended or augmented beyond the default capabilities of the platform. This involves customization but also includes more advanced techniques, such as coding, integration with external services, and the use of custom components. In the context of Power Platform and Dynamics CRM, the term "extend behavior" refers to the ability to customize and extend the functionality of the platform to meet specific business needs. Extensibility often requires technical skills, such as coding in JavaScript, C#, or using tools like Azure Logic Apps and Power Automate for complex integrations. Customization  is a subset of extensibility. Customization involves configuring and modifying existing elements within the platform to suit specific business needs. Extensibility, on the other hand, covers a wide range of functions and techniques, including customization and more advanced development and integration tasks, to extend the capabilities of the Power

Is Debt Prosperity or Trap?

 “What can be added to the happiness of a man who is in health, out of debt, and has a clear conscience?”  Adam Smith Grandfather Bhishma lay on the bed of arrows and was preaching the future king of Hastinapur about political science, economics and the duties of the king. He took a deep breath and told Yudhishthira " Fire, debt and enemies must be dealt with quickly and completely. If there is any balance left, they can continue to grow. " The future king was listening with curiosity and was eager to learn about the complete knowledge from his grandsire. Each moment was important as the sun was moving from south to north. Either we read the quote of the father of modern economics or both ancient great scholars are advising to avoid debt. But the whole of modern economics is based on the debt that advises the public to borrow money. The aggressive campaign of banks and financial institutions has been luring more and more loans. Even democratic governments and public banks con
