Azure Serverless Development: Functions and Logic Apps

Managing infrastructure can distract you from what matters most: building great software. Azure serverless technologies allow you to deploy code that responds to demand instantly, ensuring your application remains responsive while you only pay for the resources you actually use. You will transition from traditional server management to an event-driven mindset, learning how to assemble powerful cloud solutions using small, focused components that scale automatically. This course provides a clear path for understanding how to leverage the cloud's ability to handle spikes in traffic without manual intervention. What you'll learn: - Understand the fundamental principles of serverless computing and event-driven architecture. - Develop and deploy Azure Functions to handle specific backend tasks and computations. - Design automated workflows using Logic Apps to connect disparate services without writing extensive code. - Implement Event Grid to route messages and trigger actions across your cloud ecosystem. - Integrate serverless components with CosmosDB and Storage for persistent data management. - Apply modern best practices for serverless security using managed identities and observability tools. - Practice optimizing for cold starts and managing state in a stateless environment. The course begins with core terminology and architectural concepts before moving into the practical details of configuring and connecting various serverless services. You will read through detailed explanations and analyze code snippets to understand how these components interact in a production environment. This course is designed for beginners new to cloud computing and serverless patterns; no prior experience with cloud administration is required. Start building highly scalable cloud solutions today.
