Building the solution

Now that we have a solid design for our solution, we can begin building it. As we discussed in the previous section, because we’ll be using Azure serverless offerings such as Azure Storage and Azure Functions to host our application, we will need to make some changes to our application code. This is something that we never had to do in Chapters 10 and 11 as we were able to deploy our application to the cloud by packaging it in either a VM image (using Packer) or in a container image (using Docker). Therefore, to build our solution, we need to write some Terraform code and update our application code in C#.

Terraform

As we discussed in our design, our solution is made up of two application components: the frontend and the backend. Each has a code base of application code that needs to be deployed. Unlike previous chapters, where we had operating system configuration as well, now that we are using serverless offerings, this is no longer our responsibility...
