Azure Serverless Computing Cookbook - Second Edition

How it works...

Visual Studio tools for Azure Functions allow developers to use their favorite IDE, which they may have been using for ages. Using the Azure Function tools, you can use the same set of templates that the Azure Management portal provides in order to quickly create and integrate with the cloud services without writing any (or writing minimal) plumbing code.

The other advantage of using Visual Studio tools for functions is that you don't need to have a live Azure subscription. You can debug and test Azure Functions right in your local development environment. Azure CLI and related utilities provide us with all of the required assistance to execute Azure Functions.
