Overview of this book

Microsoft provides a solution to easily run small segment of code in the Cloud with Azure Functions. Azure Functions provides solutions for processing data, integrating systems, and building simple APIs and microservices. The book starts with intermediate-level recipes on serverless computing along with some use cases on benefits and key features of Azure Functions. Then, we’ll deep dive into the core aspects of Azure Functions such as the services it provides, how you can develop and write Azure functions, and how to monitor and troubleshoot them. Moving on, you’ll get practical recipes on integrating DevOps with Azure functions, and providing continuous integration and continous deployment with Visual Studio Team Services. It also provides hands-on steps and tutorials based on real-world serverless use cases, to guide you through configuring and setting up your serverless environments with ease. Finally, you’ll see how to manage Azure functions, providing enterprise-level security and compliance to your serverless code architecture. By the end of this book, you will have all the skills required to work with serverless code architecture, providing continuous delivery to your users.

Adding multiple messages to a Queue using the IAsyncCollector function

In the first chapter, you learned how to create a Queue message for each request coming from the HTTP request. Now let's assume that each user is registering their devices (mobiles, laptops, and so on) using any client application (for example, a desktop app, a mobile app, or any client website) that can send multiple records in a single request. In these cases, the backend application should be smart enough to handle the load coming to it. In these cases, there should be a mechanism to create multiple Queue message in a single go asynchronously. You will learn how to create multiple Queue messages using the IAsyncCollector interface.

Here is a sample diagram that depicts the data flow from different client applications to the backend web API:

In this recipe, we will simulate the requests using the Postman...
