Azure Logic Apps: are you handling large blobs? Keep memory usage under control

Writing on his blog, Stefano Demiliani stated that when you're using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, as well as many other cloud-based tools, it's common to need to read and work with files like JSON, XML, EDI, or CSV as part of connecting different systems together.

He noted that in modern cloud setups, especially serverless ones, these tasks are often managed using low-code tools, such as Azure Logic Apps, which make it easier to automate the process without writing a lot of code.

Demiliani wrote that he now sees Azure Logic Apps as the go-to low-code tool in Azure for handling integrations, and he strongly recommends it instead of Power Automate for these tasks.  Azure Logic Apps include a blob storage connector, which makes it easy to read and work with blob files, such as JSON or CSV, without writing much code. He added that it also takes care of scaling and reliability, making it a smart first choice for building these kinds of workflows.

In his blog post, Demiliani provided more information about the Logic Apps workflow.
