Azure Hours

Go Serverless: Azure for App Backends

Leo Visser

Cloud Consultant @ OGD

About the session

In this session, we leverage tools such as Logic Apps, Azure Functions, APIM, and other Azure services to construct a backend for a straightforward app. The backend is largely created without coding (cheers for Logic Apps!), and its scalability is enhanced by serverless capabilities. During the three-hour session, participants are taken through the process of implementing API authentication, protecting certain API sections for specific users, and the overall setup of a backend like this.
