No prior knowledge of Azure functions is necessary.\u003c\/p\u003eWhat You Will Learn\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand the folder structure of a function and the purposes of the files\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeploy a function and test it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplore the common triggers that are used to activate a function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscover how bindings can be used to output the results of a function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuild a dll that has functionality that can be leveraged by a function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChain functions to allow the invocation of one function from another\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand how to monitor the health of your functions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eIn Detail\u003cp\u003eFunctions help you easily run small pieces of code in cloud with Azure functions without worrying about a whole application or the infrastructure to run it. With Azure functions, you can use triggers to execute your code and bindings to simplify the input and output of your code.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will start with the basics of Azure Functions. You will learn the steps to set up the environment and the tools that we will be using in the further chapters. Once you have a better understanding of this, we will be creating our first hello world function app. Later you will be introduced to triggers, how they are used to activate a function, and how binding can be used to output results of a function.You will also explore the steps to create an assembly with complex functionality that can be used by functions. Next, this book will teach you to scale your functions and use them to process data, integrate systems, and build simple APIs and microservices. Finally, this book will cover some diagnostic techniques with Azure App services and best practices of working with Azure Functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the end of this book, you will be well-versed with the techniques of scaling your Azure functions and making the most of serverless architecture.\u003c\/p\u003eStyle and Approach\u003cp\u003eA step-by-side guide filled with real world examples that will guide you with the steps to build a scalable Cloud system\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Packt Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47135735185648,"sku":"9781787288997","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781787288997_p0.jpg?v=1763740944","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781787288997","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
