Azure Functions is a great way to write small pieces of code that are highly scalable, reusable, and cheap. They're a so-called serverless solution, meaning you only need to worry about the code and not the server running your code.
The following topics will be covered in this chapter:
- Understanding serverless computing
- Creating an Azure function
- Working with triggered functions
- Creating Azure Functions in Visual Studio
- Deploying Azure Functions
