Best practices are hard to come by for relatively new technologies, and Microsoft Azure BizTalk Services is such a technology. QuickLearn, a software training company that has years of experience with BizTalk Server (they actually wrote the Microsoft Official Curriculum for BizTalk Server), has started the dialog about best practices for Azure BizTalk Services

The company is also offering a brand new three-day course for developers, Cloud-Based Integration Using Azure App Service. The first class starts on May 6 and can be attended in Kirkland, WA or remotely from anywhere in the world. Participants will learn to build hybrid integration solutions in the cloud that take advantage of the publish-subscribe nature of Azure Service Bus, the connectivity provided by Hybrid Connections, and the process composition capabilities of Logic Apps and API Apps.

So what are some of the best practices you can learn here. 

1. Ignoring the fundamentals or learnings of the past can be harmful when building your cloud-based integrations . Make sure you have integration patterns in mind ...
2. Specializing the bridges on one portion of the process flow will help and one must not  try to build   entire integration using a single bridge
3. Use the canonical data model pattern when integrating between multiple source and destination systems when the list of those systems in subject to change
4. Leverage the publish-subscribe capabilities of Service Bus when needed, don’t rely only on routes within MABS

and many more you can learn..
