serverless

Serverless (Functions and Logic Apps)

• What is Serverless?

  • No infrastructure, focus on code
  • Pay for what you use (cheap!)
  • Infinite scale
  • Responds to events/event-driven

• Why Azure Functions?

  • Powerful triggers and bindings
  • HTTP is a first class citizen, no API gateways
  • Best in class tooling
  • Open source

Create a local.settings.json in the root of the solution.
