Serverless Development with Azure Functions and .NET

Modern cloud architecture relies heavily on serverless technology to run code efficiently without managing underlying infrastructure. This course guides you through the core concepts of serverless computing using Azure Functions and the .NET ecosystem. By reading through our structured explanations and analyzing practical code examples, you will transition from understanding basic cloud triggers to deploying robust, event-driven microservices. You will gain the confidence to architect, write, and debug serverless code locally before pushing it to the cloud. What you'll learn: - Understand the core principles of serverless architecture and cloud-native execution. - Configure various Azure Function triggers and bindings to respond to HTTP requests, queue messages, and timers. - Implement modern .NET patterns including dependency injection and the isolated worker process model. - Develop and debug your functions locally using Azure Functions Core Tools and local storage emulators. - Explore stateful workflows using Durable Functions to orchestrate complex, multi-step processes. - Apply best practices for application configuration, security, and structured logging. We begin by exploring essential cloud concepts and setting up your local .NET environment with foundational definitions. From there, you will progress through written code walkthroughs covering triggers, bindings, and state management, concluding with deployment and monitoring strategies. This course is designed for beginner backend developers and .NET programmers new to serverless concepts. No prior cloud experience is required, though a basic familiarity with C# is helpful.
