Run Python Code in a Serverless Setting with Azure Functions


Details
Abstract:
If you've ever wanted to deploy your Python code to the web for mass consumption as an API, you probably have had to setup a bunch of infrastructure on the backend to do so. Well with Azure Functions support for Python, that is no longer necessary. In this talk, we will discuss and setup a demo for creating a simple web app built with Azure Functions support for Python.
