When talking about storing any piece of data, our first response is to throw it in a Key Vault. But like any aspect of system design, throwing everything into the same box, or into a smattering of boxes that lie here, there, and everywhere, eventually leads you to having a mess where there is no … Read More

Configuring Azure DevOps WebHook Details
We previously created an Azure DevOps Webhook that let us have data sent to us when an event occurred. During that walkthrough, we discussed the “What to Send” as being a post on its own. Here it is. There are three categories that outline the amount of data you can retrieve when your event occurs. … Read More

The benefit of working with versions is that developers can separate what is currently running (in maintenance mode) and work on new features, without one disturbing the other – making everyone happy.

Understanding Revisions with Azure APIM
Revisions in Azure APIM are one of those concepts that I wish I had started learning from the beginning before I started doing anything within APIM.

Custom Scripting in Customer Insights
Up until February 2025, customization of the base Preference Center in Customer Insights was problematic because of limitations enforced in editing the HTML Preference Center. When editing Javascript in your preference center, regardless of the code you wrote, it would be subsequently encased within a <safe-script> javascript tag, preventing more complex javascript from being executed. … Read More
Calling Child Flows from Power Automate
The problem that any developer will encounter, regardless of the platform they are working on, is the desire to never copy or duplicate code. It starts from a desire to keep everything clean and in its place but over time it evolves into being lazy (a good, great lazy) where you don’t want to copy … Read More
