Modules in this learning path
Microsoft Azure provides several different ways to host and execute code or workflows without using Virtual Machines (VMs) including Azure Functions, Microsoft Power Automate, Azure Logic Apps, and Azure WebJobs. In this module, you will learn about these technologies and how to choose the right one for a given scenario.
Azure Functions allows developers to host business logic that can be executed without managing or provisioning infrastructure.
A trigger is responsible for executing an Azure function and there are dozens of triggers to choose from. This module will you show you some of the most common types of triggers and how to configure them to execute your logic.
Azure Functions makes it easy for your function code to integrate with data and services. Through the power of bindings, you declare the data sources to read and write, and let Azure Functions take care of the rest.
Use the Azure Functions Core Tools to create and run functions on a development computer and publish them to Azure.
Webhooks offer a lightweight mechanism for your app to be notified by another service when something of interest happens. In this module. you'll learn how to trigger an Azure function with a GitHub webhook and parse the payload for insights.
Update a web app's notification mechanism from polling to push-based architecture with SignalR Service, Azure Cosmos DB and Azure Functions.
Combine multiple Azure Functions apps into a unified interface by importing them into a single Azure API Management instance.
