Questions about Custom Web API

Hello

At the moment we have multiple REST APIs (GET/POST/PUT) deployed on on-prem servers. We recently moved our Dynamics 365 to the cloud and our end goal is to completely getting rid of in-house servers. So my question is, are custom web APIs the solution? Not sure if I fully understand what they are. Where is the API deployed? Directly into our cloud instance? Or would we have to spin up separate windows server in the cloud with IIS? How would the logging work? At the moment we write everything out into .txt-files.

Tank you

Hi nibill,

I would suggest you create a ticket for Microsoft support team, they can provide you more professional guidance about migrating Dynamics 365 to the cloud.

RE: Questions about Custom Web API

Hello,

CustomAPI is the piece of additional logic you want to pack into compact module and that has input and output parameters.

It is deployed into Dynamics infrastructure.

If you want to implement tracing - you might use in-build tracing of the platform.

Here is a bit more information that might be helpful:
