Testable integration chain on Azure Logic Apps

Problem: Connect a PLM platform, an ERP system and internal middleware so the chain can be tested without live endpoints and traced end to end.
Constraint: Future event types had to be addable without rewiring the plumbing, on Azure Logic Apps Standard and Service Bus.
Outcome: Inbound sockets per system, an inbound facade that stamps a standard envelope, topic routing, an orchestrator with idempotency, an outbound facade, and one mock/live parameter for the whole chain.

Problem: A small team with no platform group, a business that wanted results every quarter, and a cloud that extends a large ERP system.
Constraint: Scrappy but excellent: a handful of people, a rotating cast of consulting partners, and a coding agent arriving in 2026.
Outcome: A framework for agent-ready delivery: the standards, ADRs and repository conventions the agent could follow, a line between what the human and the agent decide, and an account of what went wrong.

Problem: Get hands-on practice with frontier models and agent tooling without giving up a lab that runs on local models and a network segment with no internet route.
Constraint: The cloud had to stay optional and capped.
Outcome: A private tunnel to one small VM with private endpoints, a decision matrix for when a request leaves the lab, a permit per data class, budgets and monitoring, and a security scan whose findings the post lists.
