Microsoft Azure Middleware

Microsoft Azure Middleware refers to a suite of managed cloud services within the Azure platform that facilitate communication, integration, and data processing between applications and services. It includes tools like Azure Service Bus, Azure Event Grid, and Azure Logic Apps, which handle messaging, event routing, and workflow automation. These services enable developers to build scalable, decoupled, and event-driven architectures without managing underlying infrastructure.

Also known as: Azure Middleware, Azure Integration Services, Azure Messaging Services, Azure Event-Driven Services, Azure Service Bus Suite

Why learn Microsoft Azure Middleware?

Developers should use Azure Middleware when building distributed systems, microservices architectures, or integrating disparate applications in the cloud, as it simplifies complex communication patterns and reduces operational overhead. It is particularly valuable for scenarios requiring reliable messaging, real-time event processing, or automated business workflows, such as in e-commerce, IoT, or enterprise application integration.
