Just Five Mins!

Episode 3 - Azure Functions


Listen Later

Introduction

  • We are back, the pheonix edition!  Did you really miss us?
  • Azure functions and more broadly FaaS (Functions as a service) which include amongst others, AWS Lambda and Netlify JAMStack (I think "toast" has to be deployment service here!)

Show

  • What are azure functions and FaaS in general?
  • Why would I use them?
  • Platform tie-in?  Azure functions have a docker container with the Azure functions runtime
  • Deployment.  Deploying from GIT (GitHub) with Azure Functions Kudu but you can use Azure Devops etc.
  • Azure functions in a microservice world i.e. Queues/storage tables/event grid/pubsub patterns etc.
  • More advanced: Azure durable functions i.e. Orchestrate several functions

Also, forgot to add the link to the official MS Azure Functions page, and remember, you can get a free Azure account and most of what the podcast covered is pretty much free anyway!
