Serverless Development with Azure Functions

Modern cloud architecture is moving away from managing complex infrastructure toward event-driven, serverless computing. If you want to build highly scalable, cost-effective applications that run code only when needed, mastering serverless logic is an essential skill. This text-based course guides you from the fundamental concepts of serverless computing to deploying fully functional, production-ready backend services. You will start by learning core terminology, hosting plans, and the basic architecture of serverless environments. From there, you will progress to writing functional code, configuring triggers, and utilizing input and output bindings to connect your functions seamlessly with other cloud services without writing boilerplate integration code. What you'll learn: - Understand core serverless concepts, hosting options, and execution models - Configure triggers to run code in response to HTTP requests, database changes, or queue messages - Implement input and output bindings to connect services with minimal code - Develop, test, and debug functions locally using modern terminal tools - Deploy serverless applications to the cloud and monitor execution telemetry - Apply security best practices, including managing connection strings and application settings securely This course is structured to build your confidence step-by-step. You will move from foundational theory and local development setup to deploying and securing live serverless endpoints. This course is designed for beginner cloud developers, backend programmers, and IT professionals who want to transition to serverless architectures. No prior experience with serverless technology is required, though a basic understanding of programming concepts will help you get the most out of the material.
