Serverless Azure Fundamentals

This article is part of #ServerlessSeptember. You'll find other helpful articles, detailed tutorials, and videos in this all-things-Serverless content collection. New articles are published every day — that's right, every day — from community members and cloud advocates in the month of September.

Find out more about how Microsoft Azure enables your Serverless functions at https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/azure-functions/.

The previous episodes in this series reviewed how to migrate an existing AWS Lambda JavaScript Node.js function to Azure Functions. This episode takes a step back to review general concepts.

Fundamentals of Azure Serverless

This episode reviews several concepts, including:

  • Organize related assets using resource groups
  • Manage infrastructure using Azure Resource Management (ARM) templates and the single-click deploy to Azure capability
  • Customize your at-a-glance experience using Azure dashboards
  • Drill into configuration settings for resources
  • Explore data with the web-based storage explorer

Watch the episode here:

You can view the source code for the sample app and deploy the migrated code directly to Azure with a single-click in the “AWSMigration” GitHub repository.

Migrate from AWS Lambda to Azure Functions

Move AWS Lambda to Azure Functions

This is the source code for the "Moving from Lambda to Azure Functions" video series that demonstrates how to migrate from AWS Lambda to Azure Functions.

Quick Start

Free Azure Account Get your Free Azure Account

You can get started quickly with the migrated function. Simply click or tap the "Deploy to Azure" button. Be sure to enter a unique prefix (for example, use your initials or add a sequence). After the deployment is done, you can access and test the function.

Deploy to Azure

To enable the cache, navigate to the storage account after it is created. Click on Tables under Table service then add a table named primes.

The Code

This repository contains code for all related projects.

Source ("Pure") Function

The function itself determines whether a number passed is prime or not. The pure function is available in src\isItAPrime.js

In the next article, we'll look at how to develop and test Azure Functions on your local machine before deploying to Azure.
