In this chapter, we reviewed the benefits of using source control, and the benefits of continuous integration and delivery approaches in software development.
We have created a VSTS account, and configured a source control repository for our Function App project using a Git repository on a VSTS server.
Then, we went through the step-by-step configuration process of a continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipeline for our Function App using VSTS. We set up an automated Build, Test, and Release process that deploys the application into the Azure Function App staging deployment slot every time new code changes are checked in into source control.
We have also created a Web-based load test for an HTTP-based function using VSTS.
In the next chapter, we will focus on application monitoring.
