Azure Logic Apps is a serverless integration platform that lets you build automated workflows visually. While Azure Functions is code-first, Logic Apps is design-first — you create workflows by connecting pre-built connectors in a visual designer. With over 400 connectors, Logic Apps excels at integrating cloud services, SaaS applications, on-premises systems, and custom APIs without writing significant code.
Both are serverless and event-driven, but they serve different purposes:
| Aspect | Azure Functions | Logic Apps |
|---|---|---|
| Approach | Code-first | Design-first (visual) |
| Development | Write functions in code | Drag-and-drop connectors |
| State | Stateless (or Durable Functions) | Stateful by default (run history) |
| Connectors | Custom code, SDKs | 400+ pre-built connectors |
| Monitoring | Application Insights | Built-in run history and tracking |
| Best for | Custom logic, compute-heavy, algorithms | Integration, workflow automation, SaaS connections |
| Pricing | Per execution / plan-based | Per action execution or ISE |
