Book Description

To remain competitive in the market and deliver software at a faster rate and reduced costs, companies with stable, legacy systems and growing volumes of data are modernizing their applications and accelerating innovation. However, most of the businesses struggle to meet modernization demands. A Developer's Guide to Building Resilient Cloud Applications with Azure will help you to build secure and reliable cloud-based applications on Azure and connect them to databases using examples, in order to overcome the application modernization challenges.

This book begins with a basic definition related to serverless and event-driven architecture, and database-as-a-service. The book will walk you through the different services in Azure, namely, Azure API Management using Gateway Pattern, event-driven architecture, and Event Grid, Azure Event Hubs and Azure message queues, function-as-a-service using Azure Functions and database-oriented cloud. At every step along the way, you’ll learn about creating, importing and managing APIs and Service Fabric in Azure, and how to ensure continuous integration and deployment in Azure to fully automate the software delivery process (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 function, and event-grid technologies.
