Why take this course?

NEW COURSE - JUST LAUNCHED NOV 2017

You've been working on this app for months. You finally publish it live, and you start letting people know about it. Then you have a new set of problems - checking the CPU usage, worrying about performance, almost hoping that it doesn't get too popular too fast. Do you have to spin up more servers in advance in case there is a spike in demand?

Azure Serverless apps promises to take the stress and worry about application scaling off your hands. If you code your application using logic apps, functions, messages, and events, Azure will add more server power when your application needs it, and will take care of scaling back down when you don't. And you only pay for what you use. No hourly compute charges when a server is running but not doing much.

In this course, we'll look at all of the components of an Azure Serverless app.

Functions
Logic Apps
Event Grid
CosmosDB
Azure Storage
Messaging and Queuing

Beyond the overview, we'll also look at the Azure Portal and see live walkthroughs of creating Serverless apps. Then you'll have a chance to do it yourself using Assignments.

To be sure, Azure Serverless apps aren't perfect or for every situation. Virtual Machines aren't going away. But there are some great uses for these small functions that have specific tasks to perform, and in this course we'll look at how to add Serverless apps to your toolbox.

Somethings are too broad. And some things look out of date. Overall, though it is to the point and very easy to understand.

Too far out of date; the Functions assignment requires you to be pre-COVID in order to follow. The Q&A mentions similar issues with the Logic Apps section as well

I like that it started with the basics, even though I am very familiar with the subject, it defined the terminology to be used.

A quick and nice course on serverless in azure. The demos were great, once in a while one might get distracted, but overall the course is captivating.

Very good overview of how Microsoft expect you to use Azure to achieve many functions traditionally handled by an on-premises piece of software

Our organization is working through details of implementing Event Grid. This course was a good baseline for understanding Azure functions and logic apps.

The course sections where split very well, and as per usual what was explained was explained very well. The content was good, but not as in depth as I was expecting.

Excelente curso. Permite iniciarme en la implementación y uso del new Serverless model for Cloud Apps, using Azure Functions, Logic Apps, and Event Grid. Actualmente lidero implementación de servicios back end para Billeteras (wallet) y el uso de los recursos Azure son muy necesarios.

Course is great but it needs a refresh. Azure portal has evolved since these videos were recorded. As such many of the screens and features shown in these videos are outdated or no longer available.

I am mostly interested in functions. The console in the video does not match the current console and I found it hard to follow.

It is worth including more Functions and Logic Apps complex examples with the new Azure look and feel.

This course is a little outdated. Not only the Azure interface, but also about the way certain functionalities evolved (from 2017 as it appears as the date in some of the videos when creating a resource to 2023, it's basically more than 5 years). On the other hand, to have a quick introduction it serves its purpose.

Basics explained very well. Bit old as the azure portal look and feel and the features have changed a lot. Still worth!
