While SharePoint Framework (SPFx) components can easily inherit permissions to data using the available page context , getting secure access to data outside of that scenario can be challenging. In this session, we'll explore how Azure provides a simple, yet powerful solution to data access using Azure Functions.

Azure Functions can provide a middle layer web service that protect your sensitive data while giving access to SPFx components and beyond. We'll look at how Azure Functions can be built using a variety of programming languages and configured to run on a schedule or on-demand. Azure Functions also provide easy access to other Azure services that you can leverage in your solution, like key vaults, queues, tables, file storage and more, all secured through Azure Active Directory.
