Learn Azure Serverless Functions in a Weekend (Hands-On)

Deploy a function app in the Azure portal by selecting subscription and resource group, a globally unique name, Python on Linux, and hosting plan with storage and application insights.

Create your first Azure function in the portal, learn to trigger with predefined templates, configure authorization, and monitor the function app with logs.

Configure your local environment for developing and running Azure function apps, install and validate Python, Azure CLI, and Azure Functions Core Tools, and run function apps locally.

Create your first azure function app in a local folder with func init. Understand the file structure and core files like local.settings.json and host.json for local and azure configurations.

Develop an Azure serverless function locally by creating a local function app, adding timer based functions with input and output bindings, testing, and publishing to Azure using storage.

Develop Azure functions with the VS Code extension Add Your Functions to browse, create, manage, deploy, and debug locally, then publish to an Azure function app and upload local settings.

Set up a serverless Azure SQL database for an Azure Functions project, demonstrate cost savings, configure access, and prepare the local environment with the odbc driver and requirements.txt.

Develop and deploy an Azure function api to get online course details by querying a SQL Server database, and return results to a browser page via an http trigger.

Develop an Azure function API that fetches online course details and displays JSON results in the browser, with query parameters for instructor name and topic.

Build an Azure function to collect feedback from query parameters and store it in a database table with timestamp, handling both valid reviews and bad records.

Create a timer-triggered Azure function to perform scheduled database cleanup by deleting bad records, using local settings and a function app in Azure, then deploy and verify via logs.

Explore Azure Service Bus and learn how queues, topics, and subscriptions decouple message sender and receiver for reliable, scalable cloud messaging.

Deploy and explore Azure Service Bus by creating a namespace, queues, and topics; configure shared access policies, send and receive messages, and use pub/sub with subscriptions and filters.

HTTP-triggered Azure function that uses an output blob binding to write incoming text to a blob in a storage container, showcasing declarative bindings and automation.

Learn how to create an Azure function that triggers on blob creation, reads and processes blob text, and writes the result to a separate container using an output binding.

Learn to build an Azure serverless workflow that reads blobs from container two, processes text, and queues messages to a storage queue, chaining blob-to-queue functions end to end.

Learn to build an Azure function triggered by a storage queue, process messages, and publish them to an Azure Service Bus topic with bindings and a subscription.

Learn to prevent duplicate processing in azure functions by deleting blobs after processing and sharing the delete blob logic via a common module.

Learn how binding expressions replace hardcoded values in Azure functions using local settings.json for seamless environment deployment, and monitor with application insights, live metrics, and logs.
