An Overview of Azure Functions

A new cloud computing concept called serverless computing has gained a lot of popularity recently. It is a methodology that enables programmers to create and deploy apps without stressing over the infrastructure. Because of this the developers no need to worry about managing servers, storage, and other infrastructure components so they can concentrate on writing code and creating apps. Azure Functions is one of the most widely used serverless computing platforms.

Microsoft Azure provides Azure Functions, a cloud-based service. Using this service the developers can create and operate applications without worrying about the infrastructure. With the support of Azure Functions, developers may run brief segments of code, or "functions," in response to various events, such as HTTP requests, modifications to database data, or updates to message queues.

Azure Functions supports the following programming languages C#, Java, JavaScript (Node.js), PowerShell, Python and TypeScript so that the developer can create and deploy their applications using the language of their choosing. There are numerous templates available in Azure Functions.

With the help of Azure Functions developers can integrate other Azure Services like Azure Blob Storage, AZure Event Hubs and Azure Service Bus. Also, it supports custom binding so that the developers can connect to other third-party applications. For example, using Azure Blob Storage binding, developers can create a function to automatically process data white there is a new file update to the Blob Storage container.

The Azure Function is highly scalable. So developers can easily measure the up or down of their application demand. It costs only the resources that function uses. So it is very cost effective to the developers who choose the Azure Function. Azure Function can be deployed to multiple regions. So it provides high availability.

Azure Functions provides Azure Application Insights that monitor the function execution.Application Insights collects logs, performance, and error data. By automatically diagnosing the performance developers can easily figure out the issues and they get a better understanding about how their functions are used. Developers can develop the Azure Functions using Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code.

In conclusion, serverless computing helps the developers to develop and deploy the applications without worrying about infrastructure. The Azure Function provides serverless computing service so the developers can develop and deploy the application without worrying about the server infrastructure.

I hope this helps you. Keep coding.

This blog is going to illustrate how to implement Entity Framework (EF) Core with SQL Server LocalDB. The Entity Framework Core enables access to data from the database. This allows developers to avoid having to write most of the data access code. And the SQL Server LocalDB works similarly to the SQL SERVER with few features. You can get the LocalDB when you install visual studio or visual studio express. You can find the .mdf and _log.ldf files in the C:/Users/{user} directory. Let see how to create a SQL Server LocalDB and implement Entity Framework Core Step 1: The first step is to add a connection. In the menu -> click Tools and select Connect to Database It will display the Add Connection window. Enter (localdb)\mssqllocaldb in the server name textbox. Then in the Select or enter a database, select master and click ok Now in the server explorer, you can find the master DB containing Tables, Views, Stored

This blog is going to explain what is SignalR and how to implement it in ASP.NET Core. SignalR is a real time application framework for ASP.NET Core. Using SignalR you can provide updated information without refreshing the page, for example poll results, game score, chat etc. Let's see how to achieve it in ASP.NET Core MVC. Step 1: First step I added the SignalR client library. To add a SignalR client library, Right click on the project in Solution Explorer and Add -> Client-Side Library. Select the provider as unpkg as shown in the image below. Enter the latest version of SignalR into the library. And selected signalr.js and signalr.min.js files. Finally clicked the install button to install the client library. Step 2: At this step I have created a VoteHub.cs class inside the Hubs folder(create a new folder called Hubs). This class inherits from the Hub class which is a base class of SignalR hub. The SendMessage method will be called by the connected client.

Localization in ASP.NET Core MVC with Example

Using Query Strings for Request Culture and Simplifying Localization with IStringLocalizer Interface Let’s see how to implement Localization in ASP.NET Core MVC. In the first example, I am going to use the IStringLocalizer Interface in the controller to implement Localization. Additionally, when the user passes the desired language through the query string, it will display content in that language. First, let’s configure the settings in the program.cs file. builder.Services.AddLocalization(options => options.ResourcesPath = "Resources");  The AddLocalization method adds the localization service to the service container. I have added the supported cultures here. I have added two cultures: en for English and nl for Dutch. In the RequestCultureProviders , I have included QueryStringRequestCultureProvider() . This allows the system to determine the culture information from the query string. UseRequestLocalization initializes a RequestLocalizationOptions objec
