The document discusses building microservices with Azure Functions, highlighting the evolution of computing and the benefits of serverless architecture, such as auto-scaling and reduced boilerplate code. It addresses considerations for using serverless, including vendor constraints and the need for efficient data processing. Azure Functions allows developers to focus on business logic while leveraging event-driven, lightweight services and supports various programming languages.

- 6. Ok back to reality…. Things to consider with Serverless Architecture Loss of control, vendors will put constraints on their services to deliver on reliability and performance goals. If you are processing a large amount of data (i.e. millions of rows), you will want to break that up into smaller chucks so that it can be processed within a cost affective timeframe. Assume your code always has the potential to run in parallel as it can with dynamic scaling. Its bleeding edge, the tooling is limited (Azure Functions local development is in Beta, No IntelliSense in VS) Serverless is not magic – its just a way to have some experts build the parts of your app that you don’t specialize in.

- 8. Azure Functions at a Glance Serverless (FaaS) Binding to Services Language Support Serverless event based processing, auto scales for you based on your actual usage. App developers focus on their business logic / UX. Less on boilerplate and scaling complex infrastructures Announced at Build 2016 Went GA November 2016 Azure Services (Document DB, Logic Apps, Storage, Service Event Hub) Github, Sendgrid, Twilio, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box HTTP & Webhooks C#, Node.js, F#, Python, PHP, Batch and more to come

- 10. Microservice Architecture • A Single application as a suite of small services. • Each running in its own process and communicating with lightweight mechanisms • The focus is on solving business problems, adding capabilities, competitive advantage – not writing boilerplate code • Each Service can have its own lifecycle, deployments and scaling
