Free ebookServerless on Azure: Building with Azure Functions and Event Triggers

Course Description

Serverless on Azure: Building with Azure Functions and Event Triggers is a practical ebook course designed for anyone who wants to build scalable cloud solutions without managing servers. In the world of Information Technology, modern Web Servers and Cloud Computing often demand fast delivery, reliable integrations, and cost control. This course helps you create event driven applications on Microsoft Azure that respond instantly to requests, schedules, and messages.

You will progress from core concepts of Azure Functions and Function Apps into a clear project structure and local development workflow, so you can build and test confidently before going live. As you learn how triggers shape entry points for your workloads, you will design solutions that handle HTTP requests, run on timers, and react to queue events and Event Grid notifications. You will also use bindings to connect inputs and outputs to popular Azure services with less boilerplate, helping you focus on business logic and clean architecture.

Security and operations are covered with real world patterns. You will configure app settings, protect secrets with Key Vault, and use managed identity to reduce credential risk. You will explore deployment options that take you from local to Azure with repeatable releases, supporting consistent environments and smoother updates. Along the way, you will learn how scaling and performance work in serverless computing, including concurrency management, cold start considerations, and throughput control for stable workloads.

To build systems that hold up in production, the course emphasizes reliability by design, including retries, idempotency strategies, poison message handling, and timeouts. You will strengthen observability with structured logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting so you can troubleshoot quickly and maintain service health. Finally, you will connect cost awareness to practical use cases like webhooks, schedulers, and queue processing, helping you choose the right approach for your Azure cloud architecture.

Start the course today and build serverless solutions on Azure with confidence, from first function to production ready event driven deployments.
