Best practice


DevOps for serverless is pretty young and evolving. Serverless itself is emerging at a fast pace, and, within that framework, to automate deployment and integration with other DevOps, it is changing faster. Talking about best practice for smooth code deployment from development to production, we need to look at various tenants of DevOps for Azure Function and learn from the mistakes during implementation. But because serverless is still evolving, and DevOps with serverless is still niche, we would not be able to highlight every aspect of DevOps. However,  we will look at some of the main tenants and talk about them in detail here. So the main tenant for DevOps with serverless are: source code management, build, deployment, release management, monitoring, and logging, which is almost the same as application. But because serverless are micro services, there is bit of a change when we apply DevOps to it. So let's look at each aspect of it and learn the best way of applying DevOps...
