Go Faster with serverless Azure Functions

Overview:
Serverless is getting more and more attention in today's world. Ease of use, promise of agility and power in building the next generation of solutions, infinite scale and reducing operational complexity to the minimal level.

In this session, you'll learn what Microsoft Azure Functions offer in terms of serverless computation, and how this architecture can be leverage to increase the performance of existing services. It enables you to build .NET applications more quickly than ever before. Plus, you can lower your costs because you pay per execution. The platform automatically scales up and down based on the number of incoming events. Serverless is useful for data transformation, IoT, web and mobile backends, and more. In this session, we'll describe the concepts behind serverless computing and show how easy it is to author Azure Functions in Visual Studio. You can run, debug, and even trigger on events in Azure, right from Visual Studio. Once you've deployed your application, you can monitor it with Application Insights, giving you rich queries and a view of the health of your application. This demo-rich session will teach you how to create your own functions using our best-in-class tooling.

See how Azure Logic Apps and Azure Functions provide powerful tools to build serverless applications faster than ever.
