A service-oriented architecture (SOA) is a vendor, product, or technology independent pattern that enables application components in a network to obtain services from other components. You can take advantage of the Microsoft Integration Stack to implement your SOA strategy smoothly and cost effectively. SOA Patterns with BizTalk Server 2013 and Microsoft Azure, Second Edition provides an overview of Microsoft Integration technologies, including BizTalk Server, and demonstrates how you can leverage these technologies to implement a successful SOA. Starting with an introduction to BizTalk Server and WCF, you will learn about RESTful services, JSON, and Azure Service Bus, and how to apply SOA principles to creating BizTalk solutions. Moving on, you will learn how to implement versioning in endpoints, orchestrations, and schemas. Finally, you will discover the usage of the ESB Toolkit and extend the connectivity of BizTalk Server applications to Microsoft Azure.

Why do businesses continue to use Microsoft's BizTalk Server as the backbone to integrate line-of-business applications with their trading partners and how do recent changes make it even more effective? With the advent of Azure, we have a unique opportunity to enhance BizTalk functionality including reducing the cost of operations and maintenance.

Microsoft partners are playing a significant role in enhancing the capabilities of BizTalk and this book includes sections that provide an in-depth review of BizTalk 360 (c) and the WPC HIPAA DB Toolkit (c). Over the recent past, Web 3.0 has also introduced many new concepts and open source technologies and this book covers ways to leverage these to enhance your BizTalk deployment. The authors start with a survey of the existing BizTalk Server - its history, patterns, and state of affairs -and go on to provide an in-depth elaboration of three messaging patterns that customers use for BizTalk; the advantages of updating to SQL Server 2016; a review of partner solutions that enhance BizTalk; and BizTalk with Web 3.0 for custom solutions. The book concludes with a comparison of the three viable BizTalk Azure application solutions that will enable you to make the best choice for your business.
