S4E3 - Azure Functions - Build serverless apps in the cloud, focus on code, leave the rest to Azure

This week we discuss Azure Functions. Azure Functions allows you to build serverless applications on top of Azure. Serverless functions allow you to bring your code and let Azure handle the hosting and management of infrastructure. Functions typically deal with one business case at a time, allowing for a microservices architecture to be used, potentially improving interoperability and collaboration.

Sam takes the lead with providing insights such as:

  • What Azure Functions are
  • The advantages of server less applications
  • Which languages are supported
  • Integrations and networking
  • Hosting options
  • Costs
