Before we talk about Azure Functions, let's discuss so-called serverless computing, which is kind of a misnomer since your code will definitely run on servers. Anyway, serverless computing isn't completely wrong, either, since it allows you to run code without worrying about servers and infrastructure at all (or the dreaded system administrators, for that matter). Serverless computing allows you to run code without doing any server management. As we've already mentioned, your code will still run on servers, but the server management is done by your cloud vendor (Azure, in our case) and is completely hidden from developers. While Azure Functions is one implementation of serverless, it's not the only one. Another popular application of serverless is Azure Logic Apps, which allows you to create workflows with relative...

Overview of this book
Whether you are trying to re-architect a legacy app or build a cloud-ready app from scratch, using the Azure ecosystem with .NET and Java technologies helps you to strategize and plan your app modernization process effectively.
With this book, you’ll learn how to modernize your applications by using Azure for containerization, DevOps, microservices, and serverless solutions to reduce development time and costs, while also making your applications robust, secure, and scalable.
You will delve into improving application efficiency by using container services such as Azure Container Service, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and more. Next, you will learn to modernize your application by implementing DevOps throughout your application development life cycle. You will then focus on increasing the scalability and performance of your overall application with microservices, before learning how to add extra functionality to your application with Azure serverless solutions. Finally, you’ll get up to speed with monitoring and troubleshooting techniques.
By the end of this book, you will have learned how to use the Azure ecosystem to refactor, re-architect, and rebuild your web, mobile, and desktop applications.
