With Azure Functions, you can easily run small pieces of code in the
cloud without worrying about a whole application or the infrastructure
to run it. Azure Functions, can be used with triggers to execute your
code and bindings to simplify the input and output of your code.
This tutorial starts with the basics of Azure Functions and then
shows you how to create functions such as WebHooks, Azure Connected, and
event processing. Moving ahead, the video demonstrates how to develop,
manage, deploy, and monitor your Azure functions in almost any language
such as C#, F#, Node.js, Python, PHP, as well as scripting options such
as Bash, Batch, and PowerShell.
Next, you'll see how to scale your functions and use them to process
data, integrate systems, and build simple APIs and microservices.
Finally, we'll cover some diagnostic techniques with Azure App Services
and the best practices of working with Azure Functions. By the end of
this tutorial, you will be well-versed with the techniques of scaling
your Azure Functions and making the most of the serverless architecture.
