Introduction
- We are back, the pheonix edition! Did you really miss us?
- Azure functions and more broadly FaaS (Functions as a service) which include amongst others, AWS Lambda and Netlify JAMStack (I think "toast" has to be deployment service here!)
Show
- What are azure functions and FaaS in general?
- Why would I use them?
- Platform tie-in? Azure functions have a docker container with the Azure functions runtime
- Deployment. Deploying from GIT (GitHub) with Azure Functions Kudu but you can use Azure Devops etc.
- Azure functions in a microservice world i.e. Queues/storage tables/event grid/pubsub patterns etc.
- More advanced: Azure durable functions i.e. Orchestrate several functions
