What you'll learn

  • Understand how to create and deploy Serverless functions in Azure
  • Trigger functions using different techniques using real-world examples
  • Build a Serverless Architecture with an Internet of Things (IoT) example application
  • Explore other types of cloud-based APIs such as Search Service and Application Insights for customer Interaction and tracking performance
  • Front-end your APIs and Business logic with API Management

Course content

3 sections • 18 lectures • 1h 50m total length

  • The Course Overview4:04

    This video will give you an overview about the course.

  • Concept of Serverless Functions7:39

    Serverless in the new modern approach to develop applications in the Cloud era. This video explains what Serverless is, what purpose it solves and illustrates the concept with the help of real world example

    • Understand the concept of Serverless computing
    • See real world use-cases of Serverless
    • Serverless using Azure Functions in Action 
  • Deploying and Testing a Function in Azure3:01

    Deploying and testing an Azure Function is easy and can be done via the Azure Portal, the CLI or the SDK.

    • Deploy an Azure Function using the Portal
    • Test the Azure Function using the Portal
    • Verify the execution details using the Log Console 
  • Using Queue Trigger with a Function7:26

    Azure Functions can monitor activities in an Azure Storage Queue, thanks to its queue trigger binding. You can react to events like uploading a blob via Functions.

    • Create an Azure Function that binds to an Azure Storage Queue
    • Send messages to the Queue
    • See the Function getting triggered when messages arrive 
  • Using Time Trigger with a Function2:51

    Want to run code on a specific schedule? Azure Functions offer Time Trigger binding that does just that. Clean up databases at 12 AM every morning, shutdown virtual machines 7 PM every night are some of the amazing use cases.

    • Create an Azure Function Timer Trigger
    • Understand the schedule options via Cron Expression
    • See the execution details via Log Console 
  • Using Blob Trigger with a Function5:00

    Uploading files to Azure Storage Blobs is a common operation but what if we can trigger code in response to this event. Azure Functions' blob trigger offers a binding which can run code in response to a Blob operation.

    • Create an Azure Function Blob Trigger
    • Upload a blob using Storage Explorer
    • See the execution details via Log Console 

Requirements

  • Familiarity with building simple serverless applications with .NET for Azure and would like to explore in depth how to work with newer advancements and technologies.

Description

The goal of the course is to you get acquainted with the Function-as-a-Service offering from Microsoft Azure and Azure Functions. After understanding Serverless Architectures, the course will dwell into triggers and how to use them in code to react to events that occur in several Azure Services.

Moving on, you’ll learn about IoT Solution Architecture and get into the meat of Azure IoT Hub including deploying IoT Hub, simulating devices, sending and receiving messages and building Serverless IoT Solutions using Azure Functions and IoT Hub. Finally, the course will cover advanced Azure services like API Gateways, Azure App Insights, Azure Search and Azure Billing. 

By the end of this course, you will be well familiar with the advanced techniques in Serverless Architecture.
