In this chapter, we learned what Azure Functions and an Azure Function App are. We looked at the features that Azure Function Apps provide, and we also learned about the integrations that it has with other Azure Service offerings. We then learned about how to create a free Azure account that we can use for our exercises. We explored the Azure portal, and we also learned a little bit about the Azure Function App console. We then learned about different configuration options that are available for Azure Functions, along with the tooling that Azure provides for debugging Azure Functions.

Overview of this book
Serverless applications and architectures are gaining momentum and are increasingly being used by companies of all sizes. Serverless software takes care of many problems that developers face when running systems and servers, such as fault tolerance, centralized logging, horizontal scalability, and deployments.
You will learn how to harness serverless technology to rapidly reduce production time and minimize your costs, while still having the freedom to customize your code, without hindering functionality. Upon finishing the book, you will have the knowledge and resources to build your own serverless application hosted in AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform, and will have experienced the benefits of event-driven technology for yourself.
This hands-on guide dives into the basis of serverless architectures and how to build them using Node.js as a programming language, Visual Studio Code for code editing, and Postman for quickly and securely developing applications without the hassle of configuring and maintaining infrastructure on three public cloud platforms.
