Summary
This chapter discussed the implementation of three important Azure trigger functions to implement background services – timer triggers, Blob storage triggers, and queue storage triggers. Tasks such as processing routines, images, data, and orders can be easily implemented using this serverless technology.
While presenting these kinds of functions, the chapter explained how to publish and monitor functions. It also presented a more efficient way to implement blob trigger functions, using Event Grid as a basis, and reducing the latency between the file upload and the start of the processing.
The chapter also explained how Azure Functions can be a great approach to implementing microservices. To do so, it presented three examples related to the car-sharing use case where the usage of this kind of solution will let developers focus on what really matters when it comes to software development – coding the business logic of the solution that is being developed...
