  • Announcing the general availability of the Azure Logic Apps Rules Engine, bringing low-code, flexible business logic capabilities to your cloud-native workflows.
    Business Rules Engines (BRE) enable organizations to define, manage, and update business logic without writing code or redeploying applications. This is especially valuable in decentralized, microservices-based architectures, where rules engines help ensure consistency, compliance, and maintainability across distributed systems.
    Key Highlights:
    • Low-code, high-productivity rule creation using Visual Studio Code
    • RETE runtime engine support, consistent with the one used in BizTalk Server
    • Support for .NET and XML facts, making it easy to build rules around structured business data
    • Migration-ready for BizTalk customers, including those using SWIFT-based solutions
    • BRE rule reuse, enabling existing BizTalk Business Rules to be brought into Logic Apps (note: export each policy individually as policies are no longer grouped)

    To get started, install the Azure Logic Apps (Standard) extension in Visual Studio Code, create a Logic Apps workspace, and add a Rules Engine project to begin authoring your business rules.
    This release is a key milestone in modernizing BizTalk workloads and accelerating low-code automation using Azure Logic Apps.Learn more.
