Getting Started with Azure Functions

With Azure Functions, you can easily run small pieces of code in the cloud without worrying about a whole application or the infrastructure to run it. Azure Functions, can be used with triggers to execute your code and bindings to simplify the input and output of your code. This tutorial starts with the basics of Azure Functions and then shows you how to create functions such as WebHooks, Azure Connected, and event processing. Moving ahead, the video demonstrates how to develop, manage, deploy, and monitor your Azure functions in almost any language such as C#, F#, Node.js, Python, PHP, as well as scripting options such as Bash, Batch, and PowerShell. Next, you'll see how to scale your functions and use them to process data, integrate systems, and build simple APIs and microservices. Finally, we'll cover some diagnostic techniques with Azure App Services and the best practices of working with Azure Functions. By the end of this tutorial, you will be well-versed with the techniques of scaling your Azure Functions and making the most of the serverless architecture. Style and Approach: In this course we will show, how to create an Azure account; going forward we will learn the Azure Function essentials. Later, weâll work on integrating Azure Functions with Azure services and external services. We'll even walk through best practices and architecture considerations in using Azure Functions. We will show some recipes for useful Azure Functions. We will wind up with ways to keep track of the performance, and learn to automate deployment.  

Target Audience 

This video aims at IT architects and developers who want to build scalable systems and deploy serverless applications with Azure functions. No prior knowledge to Azure functions is necessary.  

Business Outcomes 

• Learn to develop, manage, deploy, and monitor Azure functions in any language.  
• Make the most out of Azure functions to build scalable systems.  
• A step-by-step course that will help you eliminate the pain points of implementing a serverless architecture.
