Description

Welcome to this comprehensive course on serverless computing with Azure Functions for Java developers! In this course, we'll embark on an exciting journey through the realm of serverless architecture, Azure Functions, Spring Cloud Function and beyond.For starters, we'll lay the foundation by exploring the core principles of serverless computing. We'll unravel its mysteries, dissect different architectural styles, and discover which styles are best suited for serverless environments. Armed with this knowledge, you'll be empowered to make informed decisions for your projects.Going forward, we'll dive headfirst into Azure Functions. Through hands-on demonstrations, you'll configure your local development environment and master essential concepts like triggers and bindings. By the half of this course, you'll be ready to create your first function and seamlessly integrate Azure Storage into your projects.As we progress further, we'll explore the Azure Functions App and delve into hosting plans, pricing, and deployment strategies. You'll design and implement a function pipeline on Azure, gaining practical insights into Azure Storage Queue along the way.Next, we'll focus on monitoring and debugging, equipping you with the tools to troubleshoot even the trickiest of scenarios. With a deep dive into logging using Application Insights, you'll learn how to track and optimise the performance of your functions effectively, as well as how to tackle debugging in the cloud.Finally, I'll introduce you to Spring Cloud Function, a powerful addition to the Spring Framework. You'll discover its capabilities and learn how to leverage its programming model to create vendor-independent function logic, which we're going to deploy and test in Azure.Join me on this exhilarating journey as we unlock the full potential of serverless computing with Azure Functions!
