Modern cloud applications are distributed in nature, almost every single application becomes part of a more complex distributed system. There are multiple applications running on different geographical locations and a single solution may have different services running on different platforms like App Services, Virtual Machines and Serverless functions etc. Managing application settings/configuration across these distributed instances is difficult, and when issues come up, it's even more difficult to troubleshoot. Having a centralized location to store your application configurations helps to solve these issues. In this session, you will learn how to implement a centralized configuration for your serverless Azure Functions as well as how you can leverage Feature Flags to modify a system's behaviour without changing any code. This session focuses on software architects and developers intending to design and implement modern enterprise applications. In my demos, I'll be showing best practices and lessons learned from real-world enterprise customer projects.
