Reach for the sky with automated reporting! Use Azure Logic Apps as your Deputy to move data and Azure Functions to give your reports a "Space Ranger" encoding power-up. Build a loyal, automated pipeline that delivers data to the final frontier.
Session Details
Manual data exports are the old, dusty toys in the chest—prone to getting lost and causing a mess. It’s time to call in the Space Rangers and the Sheriff to lead your data to its final destination. In this session, we’ll use Azure Logic Apps as our trusted Deputy to round up reports and orchestrate a flawless delivery route across the cloud frontier.
But sometimes, a simple delivery isn't enough; your files might need a high-tech "Power-Up" before they can take flight. We’ll show you how to use Azure Functions to custom-encode your data, transforming raw exports into the sleek, secure packages your users need. You’ll learn how to bridge the gap between "standard" exports and specialized encoding requirements, ensuring your automation is as loyal as Woody and as advanced as Buzz. You’ve got a friend in automation—let’s go to delivery and beyond!
