Other option to keep in mind

Custom Services

D365FO’s business logic, and when the performance impact on the ERP system is manageable.

Azure Functions

Use Azure Functions for scalable, asynchronous workflows, especially when you’re dealing with large transaction volumes, need to offload processing from D365FO, or want to handle complex data transformations and external API interactions.
