Summary

Overall, Azure Functions and Logic Apps, as part of the Azure Serverless platform, provide ad hoc, event-driven solutions to fill in the gaps in any distributed cloud application. In this chapter, we have analyzed the available development options for Azure Functions. We have implemented simple Azure Functions to denormalize data on a Cosmos DB setup. Finally, we created Logic Apps by utilizing out-of-the-box connector tasks, as well as Azure Functions with HTTP and periodic triggers.

This chapter completes our coverage of the Azure cloud services-related topics. In the following chapters, we will take a look at more advanced topics to improve the integration between Xamarin applications and the cloud-based service backend.
