What's Serverless?

Serverless is the high level abstraction for Cloud infrastructure.

Serverless architectures are application designs that incorporate third-party “Backend as a Service” (BaaS) services, and/or that include custom code run in managed, ephemeral containers on a “Functions as a Service” (FaaS) platform.

Create Your 1st Function: VS Code

Create Your 1st Function: VS Code

Create Your 1st Function: AZURE CLI

func init myFunProject --javascript
func new --name myfun \
         --template "HttpTrigger" \
         --language javascript
func host start
curl http://localhost:7071/api/myfun

Example: "httpTrigger" Function

module.exports = async (context, req) => {
    context.done(null, {
        res: 'Hello World :)'
    });
};
{
  "bindings": [{
      "type": "httpTrigger",
      "direction": "in", "name": "req"
    }, {
      "type": "http", 
      "direction": "out", "name": "$return"
  }]
}
