Serverless FrameWork + Azure

Define the serverless framework, explain events and functions, and show a simple example, then compare it with other frameworks like Ansible and Terraform, and note when not to use it.

Explore how a serverless framework enables developing, deploying, troubleshooting, and securing function as a service across cloud providers, with events that trigger functions defined in yaml.

This lecture explains how serverless automates infrastructure dependencies such as resource groups, storage accounts, and function apps, letting you focus on code while avoiding manual configuration, unlike Terraform.

Discover the main drawbacks of serverless, including limited native infrastructure control, incomplete documentation, and plug-in gaps for cloud providers, which prevent creating virtual machines or databases.

Explore azure function as a serverless service, create a function app in a new resource group, configure triggers and bindings, and deploy using a template.

Learn how you can connect ashore with serverless and start by creating a basic application.

Install node, the serverless framework, plugins, and dependencies, then connect to Azure by creating a service principal and configuring subscription, tenant, client id, and client secret.

Create your first http app with the serverless framework on Azure by scaffolding with a template, deploying the service, and exposing endpoints for hello and goodbye.

Explore the anatomy of a serverless file by defining the service name, provider configuration, plugin, function name and handler, and the event triggers that invoke functions.

During the serverless deploy, a region resource group is created, a template is uploaded, a function, storage account, and app are created, and an artifact deploys three functions.

Adopt a micro service based approach by segregating functions into dedicated user and account services, deploying independently to avoid interdependencies and improve responsibility separation.

Identify the most commonly used event in surveillance, the undistorted events, and explain its significance in the introduction to the Serverless Framework and Azure.

Demo deploying a serverless Azure app with the serverless framework, creating HTTP triggered events for hello and goodbye, and reviewing bindings and anonymous access.

Learn to update host settings and http trigger configurations in serverless azure deployments, adjusting function timeouts, retry behavior, routing prefixes, and response headers.

Trigger a function with blob storage uploads, access the uploaded object's name and content via bindings, and log the file contents to verify the upload.

Copy a blob in blob storage from one container to another using an input trigger and an output, with a single line of code that performs the transfer.

Use a storage queue to trigger an app function and access queue contents via context or binding. Deploy and test the function after creating the queue in your storage account.

Trigger an http request to a function, which returns a response to the user and writes the query parameter contents to a queue for use by other applications.

Learn to get user info using a http trigger and table storage input in a serverless azure setup, binding a table by partition key and returning the response.
