I will explore a real-world example in the logistics domain of how we built a robust and scalable integration architecture using .NET Core, Azure, EventStoreDB, and Power Platform. I will discuss how we addressed the challenges of integrating multiple data sources, including third-party systems through event-driven architecture, and also provide insights into using persistent subscriptions for event projections and efficient data synchronization between Dataverse and CosmosDB.

Legacy System Routes Planning Communication
Inefficient communication from
inconsistent email formats and
reliance on multiple channels,
such as phone calls, SMS,
WhatsApp, Telegram, and Viber,
causing delays and confusion
