Overview

Deploy Rust on Azure Functions

Learn how to deploy Rust functions to Azure Functions with this comprehensive video course. You will start by creating a simple HTTP-triggered function, and then use GitHub Actions to automate your deployment.

Deploying Rust in Azure can be frustrating because there is no first-class support yet for it. You will learn what are some of the caveats and what are some strategies you can use to properly deploy a very basic Rust HTTP API.

Course Overview

We will start by covering the basics of Azure Functions and Rust, and then dive into more advanced topics such as configuring your function's environment, application settings, and using external crates. By the end of this course, you will have a working knowledge of how to deploy and manage your Rust functions on Azure Functions using automation to quickly re-deploy or update your function.
