Example of an Azure and Power Platform integration scenario
This section focuses on a practical example that demonstrates how fusion teams could work together. This case shows a connection between Power Platform and Azure through the use of custom connectors and Azure services, such as Azure API Management.
For the example in this chapter, we focus on integrating Web API templates written in the C# programming language in Visual Studio 2022, with Power Platform as a custom connector. We have already installed Power Platform Tools in Visual Studio 2022 in the previous chapter. This will demonstrate how pro-developers can use modern tools to build and test Web APIs that support business applications in Power Apps. The Web API will be deployed to the Azure service and exposed over Azure API Management.
Here, we will introduce two ways of creating a custom connector: one with the support of Visual Studio 2022 and the other with the support of Azure API Management.
