  • serverless (can run with [[202404201400 Azure App service#App service plan]])
    • I just write the code

  • Event driven such as HTTP, schedule, event grid, blob creation

Serverless

flowchart LR
Event -.-> |Trigger| Work
Work <--> |BindingOrConnection| Services
  • Point of serverless is there is some work you want to do
  • Which is triggered by some event (schedule, message, api, etc)
    • Can be many event sources (blob,app,etc)
    • Which can be difficult to poll, etc.
    • So what we get is Event grid
      • which talks to all these sources and pushes the event to the event handler
      • Event handlers for example [[202404201427 Azure Functions|Azure Functions]], webhooks, etc.
  • That work is integrated with services
