Chapter 10: Using .NET Core for Azure Serverless
Azure functions are serverless compute modules that take advantage of various triggers, including HTTP requests. Using Azure functions, developers can create business logic containers, completely isolated from the problems brought by monolithic web application paradigms and infrastructure. They can be used as simple HTTP request processing units and so-called microservices, as well as for orchestrating complex workflows. Azure functions come in two flavors (compiled or script-based) and can be written in different languages, including C# with .NET Core modules.
In this chapter, you will get a chance to use different runtimes available for Azure functions and get a glimpse of the available configuration, trigger, and hosting options for Azure serverless. We will then incorporate Azure functions into our infrastructure so that we can process data on different triggers. We will then integrate Azure functions with a logic app, which will...
