Advanced Serverless Architectures with Microsoft Azure

Build complex observable and fault-tolerant serverless systems easily on Microsoft Azure.Key FeaturesUse serverless systems to help you fulfill complex requirements Develop your knowledge of Azure Microsoft ServerlessUnderstand concepts with a hands-on approach and helpful examplesBook DescriptionAdvanced Serverless Architectures with Microsoft Azure redefines your experience of designing serverless systems. It shows you how to tackle challenges of varying levels not just the straightforward ones. Youll be learning how to deliver features quickly by building systems which retain the scalability and benefits of serverless.Youll begin your journey by learning how to build a simple completely serverless application. Then youll build a highly scalable solution using a queue load messages onto the queue and read them asynchronously. To boost your knowledge further the book also features durable functions and ways to use them to solve errors in a complex system. Youll then learn about security by building a security solution from serverless components. Next you’ll gain an understanding of observability and ways to leverage application insights to bring you performance benefits. As you approach the concluding chapters you’ll explore chaos engineering and the benefits of resilience by actively switching off a few of the functions within a complex system submitting a request and observing the resulting behavior. By the end of this book you will have developed the skills you need to build and maintain increasingly complex systems that match evolving platform requirements.What you will learnUnderstand what true serverless architecture isStudy how to extend and scale architectures until they become ‘complexImplement durable functions in your designImprove the observability of your serverless architectureImplement security solutions using serverless servicesLearn how to ‘practise chaos engineering in productionWho this book is forAdvanced Serverless Architectures with Microsoft Azure is is ideal if you want to build serverless systems with fewer outages and high performance using Azure. Familiarity with the C# syntax and Azure Functions and ARM templates will help you to benefit more from this book. Prior knowledge of basic front-end development HTML JS and CSS is beneficial but not essential. Some DevOps knowledge is also beneficial but not essential.
