Overview of this book

Serverless architecture allows you to build and run applications and services without having to manage the infrastructure. Many companies have started adopting serverless architecture for their applications to save cost and improve scalability. This book will be your companion in designing Serverless architecture for your applications using the .NET runtime, with Microsoft Azure as the cloud service provider. You will begin by understanding the concepts of Serverless architecture, its advantages and disadvantages. You will then set up the Azure environment and build a basic application using a sample text sentiment evaluation function. From here, you will be shown how to run services in a Serverless environment. We will cover the integration with other Azure and 3rd party services such as Azure Service Bus, as well as configuring dependencies on NuGet libraries, among other topics. After this, you will learn about debugging and testing your Azure functions, and then automating deployment from source control. Securing your application and monitoring its health will follow from there, and then in the final part of the book, you will learn how to Design for High Availability, Disaster Recovery and Scale, as well as how to take advantage of the cloud pay-as-you-go model to design cost-effective services. We will finish off with explaining how azure functions scale up against AWS Lambda, Azure Web Jobs, and Azure Batch compare to other types of compute-on-demand services. Whether you’ve been working with Azure for a while, or you’re just getting started, by the end of the book you will have all the information you need to set up and deploy applications to the Azure Serverless Computing environment.

.NET dependency


Azure Functions are transitioning to running on .NET Standard 2.0, which is a specification that bridges the gap between different versions of .NET runtimes, notably .NET Framework and .NET Core.

.NET Standard allows developers creating custom libraries (such as different NuGet packages) to target one base library to run across all .NET platforms. For the application developers, .NET Standard will ensure that most third-party libraries will be available on every base platform, so that there is no significant difference between libraries available on .NET Framework and .NET Core, for instance.

.NET Standard is not an implementation of .NET runtime, but rather a specification that other runtime implementations, such as .NET Framework and .NET Core can conform with. The idea behind .NET Standard is highlighted in the following diagram:
