A Developer's Guide to Building Resilient Cloud Applications with Azure: Deploy applications on serverless and event-driven architecture using a cloud database

Successfully modernize your apps on Azure  using APIs, event-driven systems, functions, and Service Fabric and  connect them to different relational and non-relational databases

Key Features

• Understand Function-as-a-Service and Azure Service Fabric for distributed applications
• Develop event-based and message-based solutions using Event Grid and Azure Event Hubs
• Explore continuous deployment for Docker with Azure DevOps and integrate Docker Hub with CI/CD pipelines

Book Description

To  deliver software at a faster rate and reduced costs, companies with  stable legacy systems and growing data volumes are trying to modernize  their applications and accelerate innovation, but this is no easy  matter. A Developer's Guide to Building Resilient Cloud Applications  with Azure helps you overcome these application modernization challenges  to build secure and reliable cloud-based applications on Azure and  connect them to databases with the help of easy-to-follow examples.

The  book begins with a basic definition of serverless and event-driven  architecture and Database-as-a-Service, before moving on to an  exploration of the different services in Azure, namely Azure API

Management  using the gateway pattern, event-driven architecture, Event Grid, Azure  Event Hubs, Azure message queues, FaaS using Azure Functions, and the  database-oriented cloud. Throughout the chapters, you'll learn about  creating, importing, and managing APIs and Service Fabric in Azure, and  discover how to ensure continuous integration and deployment in Azure to  fully automate the software delivery process, that is, the build and  release process.

By the end of this book, you'll be  able to build and deploy cloud-oriented applications using APIs,  serverless, Service Fabric, Azure Functions, and Event Grid  technologies.

What you will learn

• Understand the architecture of Azure Functions and Azure Service Fabric
• Explore Platform-as-a-Service options for deploying SQL Server in Azure
• Create and manage Azure Storage and Azure Cosmos DB resources
• Leverage big data storage in Azure services
• Select Azure services to deploy according to a specific scenario
• Set up CI/CD pipelines to deploy container applications on Azure DevOps
• Get to grips with API gateway patterns and Azure API Management

Who this book is for

This  book is for cloud developers, software architects, system  administrators, database administrators, data engineers, developers, and  computer science students who want to understand the role of the  software architect or developer in the cloud world. Professionals  looking to enhance their cloud and cloud-native programming concepts on  Azure will also find this book useful. A solid background in C#, ASP.NET  Core, and any recent version of Visual Studio and basic knowledge of  cloud computing, Microsoft Azure, and databases will be helpful when  using this book.
