Serverless technology is trending, but in-depth details are missing. How does it fit with non-serverless components? What are the practical use cases? Should you fight vendor lock-in? And what about limits and pitfalls with Azure? I will answer those questions, share a few tricks and short demo.
I'll cover serverless usage scenarios with Azure, what problems can be solved, and what is a viable adoption strategy. Then I'm going to talk about technology shortcomings, when to omit it and how to rip all benefits. There are circumstances when a cloud-agnostic approach is beneficial, so I discuss serverless frameworks too and why vendor lock is not that bad. Finally, we'll look at a short demo that illustrates why you have to use specific serverless patterns.
