Overview of this book

Application development has evolved from traditional monolithic app development to using serverless options and microservices. This book is designed to guide you through using Microsoft's Azure Functions to process data, integrate systems, and build simple APIs and microservices. You will discover how to apply serverless computing to speed up deployment and reduce downtime. You'll also explore Azure Functions, including its core functionalities and essential tools, along with understanding how to debug and even customize Azure Functions. In addition to this, the book will take you through how you can effectively implement DevOps and automation in your working environment. Toward the concluding chapters, you'll cover some quick tips, troubleshooting techniques, and real-world serverless use cases that will help you make the most of serverless computing. By the end of this book, you will have gained the skills you need to develop and deliver cost-effective Azure serverless solutions.

Programming Languages Supported in Azure Functions

In the previous chapters, you saw a lot of code snippets based on C#. But Azure Functions are not only C#—they support a set of programming languages and, moreover, allow you to create the infrastructure to support your own favorite programming language. After reading this chapter, you will understand how the language extension pattern, implemented by the Azure Functions Runtime, works and how you can extend it to support new languages.

This chapter will cover the following topics:

  • Azure Functions and JavaScript
  • Azure Functions and Java
  • Azure Functions and Python
  • Azure Functions and PowerShell
  • Language extensibility
