This workshop will start with the basics of server-less architectures and explain how Azure Functions play a part in building server-less solutions. You will learn how to develop Azure Functions using .NET Core and Visual Studio 2019. Next, you are going to build and deploy these with Azure DevOps using CI/CD. Also covered is the lifecycle management and operations of server-less solutions, with proxies, monitoring and zero-downtime deployments. Among the topics we will cover:
• Getting started with server-less event-driven architectures and Azure Functions
• Anatomy of an Azure Function: creating and dissecting your first functions
• Knowing your triggers and how to binding your inputs and outputs
• Long-running flows with Durable Extensions Framework
• Build and release of Azure Functions with Azure Pipelines
• Securing your solutions
• Automated provisioning of Azure Functions with Azure Resource Management templates
• Going to production: proxies, deployment slots
• Monitoring server-less solutions: Integrating Application Insights in Azure Functions and using Azure Monitor
