Recently, I took some time to delve deeper into Azure Serverless Functions, an area I’ve been curious about for a while. To gain hands-on experience, I completed the Coursera course “Creating Azure Serverless Functions in a Real-World Scenario.” This course offered a comprehensive introduction to Azure’s serverless architecture, and I came away with valuable insights into how serverless technology can power microservices for scalable applications.

One of the highlights was learning to build and deploy serverless functions that integrate seamlessly with a NoSQL database. This setup allows for flexible, on-demand backend solutions without the overhead of traditional server management. Working through practical scenarios, we connected a responsive HTML interface directly to these serverless functions, bringing the front end and back end together in a streamlined, scalable way.

The experience has reinforced the practicality and power of serverless functions for real-world applications, particularly those that require flexible, scalable backend solutions. For anyone looking to explore serverless architecture in Azure, I’d highly recommend investing time in a structured, hands-on course like this one. It’s been a fantastic addition to my toolkit, and I’m excited to apply this knowledge in future projects!
