8. Abstraction of servers, infrastructure and configuration of operating system Event-driven scale (no while truing) Sub-second billing Stateless Serverless compute is a fully managed service. Some refer to it as Functions as a Service OS and Framework patching is performed for you There is zero administrative tasks and no need to manage any infrastructure You just deploy your code (function) and it runs Your code runs within seconds and for very short period of time Serverless compute scales quickly (almost instantly) and vastly Automatically scales within seconds No scale configuration is required (there is no way to configure scale or limits) Scales to match any given workload. Scales from zero to handle tens of thousands concurrent functions invocations within seconds Pay only for the time your code is running Serverless compute reacts to events React, in near real-time, to events and triggers Triggered by virtually any event from Azure service or 3rd party services
9. “Pinnacle of PaaS compute” Not just hardware “servers”, but software servers are also managed for you Focus on business logic, not solving technical problems not core to business Lower effort to get started makes it easier to experiment (bots, etc.) Benefits of “serverless” Mono lithic to loosely coupled copument
10. Function as the unit of work Functions are executed; they start and finish Functions have inputs and outputs
11. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/functions-triggers-bindings/ We will show in the next demo that the portal has more binding and more granular per service
12. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/functions/ Execution Time $0.000008/GB-s 400,000 GB-s free per month Total Executions $0.20 per Million Executions 1 Million Executions The example below illustrates the execution time included with the Azure Functions free grant of 400,000 GB-s. For memory tier size of 128MB, the 400,000 GB-s free grant allows for 3,200,000 seconds of execution time per month ((400,000 * 1,024)/128) For the largest available memory tier size of 1,536MB the free grant will allow for 266,666 seconds of execution time per month ((400,000 * 1,024)/1,536) A 1,536MB Function App in the West US region takes 1 second to execute and executes 2,000,000 times in a month resulting in a cost of $20.80 for Execution time.
13. Now let’s take a look an incredibly cool company Plexure, which has taken Azure Functions to the next level.
14. For those who aren’t familiar with Plexure, they offer a rich platform to help businesses measure, optimize, and influence customer transactions and engagement in their stores.
15. Here you can see an overview of their architecture, heavily leveraging lots of Azure services, including both Azure Functions and Logic Apps, two Serverless technologies. The awesome thing that Plexure has done is that they not only utilize these services to help process events from their own platform, but they actually offer the ability for their own users to write Functions within their UX to use as part of a workflow. (I’ll spend some time here to let the impact of that sink in)
