Digitalization and data-driven services – foundation for new business models and value creation

The ongoing digitalization is resulting in more data stored than ever. The digitalization and the vast amount of data it brings is a more far-reaching change than only automating processes. It’s an enabler for new business development and service offerings as well.

The Digital Strength Measurement is a new data-driven digital service, based on a fully #cloudnative event-driven big data streaming architecture. The digital service, with role- and subscription-based authentication, is designed for scalability and resiliency and implemented using a suite of #azurecloud PaaS services and Azure #kubernetes Service, to fulfill the business use case. Azure IoT Hub is used for #iotsensors device management, and #serverless functions continuously contextualizes each ingested time series data point, adding quality. Azure #cosmosdb is used for storing unified ERP data, that is also ingested in real-time through an enterprise integration where Azure #logicapps, Integration Account, Services Bus queues and #serverless function apps form an integral part.

It’s estimated that by 2025, 80% of data globally will reside in enterprises. Data is the foundation on which new business models and value creation can be built. Data-driven digital services are the future, and this is only the start.

How to create Azure Functions from OpenAPI specifications using Visual Studio Code

An update that caught my eye recently is the introduction of being able to create #azurefunctions through the Azure Functions #vscode extension or command line using an existing OpenAPI specification. When imported, the extension generates all the necessary functions for the API, preconfigured based on the OpenAPI specification, in either C#, Python, TypeScript, Java, with support for JavaScript and PowerShell coming soon. Since Azure functions can be imported to API Management it certainly makes the route to go to shift to a #cloudnativearchitecture with i.e. a modern API gateway pattern using Azure #apimanagement and serverless Azure functions even shorter. Definitely something to check out I think for everyone looking to explore or shift to a serverless architecture or consumption-based billing model.
