Testing Azure Functions in Emulated Environment with ScriptCs

5th of September, 2016 / / 2 Comments

In the previous post, Azure Functions Deployment Strategies, we have briefly looked several ways to deploy Azure Functions codes. In this post, I’m going to walk through how we can test Azure Functions codes on developers’ local machine.

Mocking and Asserting on ScriptCs

We need to know how to run test code scripts using ScriptCs. We’re not going too much details how to install ScriptCs here. Instead, we assume that we have ScriptCs installed on our local machine.… [Keep reading] “Testing Azure Functions in Emulated Environment with ScriptCs”

Azure Functions Deployment Strategies

As a serverless architecture, Azure Functions gives us a great benefit, ie. we don’t have to worry about server maintenance. However, we still need to manage our codes and setup a proper strategy for deployment. In this post, I am going to describe list of deployment strategies for Azure Functions.

Git Integration

Azure Functions provides a git integration as an out-of-the-box feature. We can simply integrate local git repository, GitHub, BitBucket or Visual Studio Team Service.… [Keep reading] “Azure Functions Deployment Strategies”

Code Management in Serverless Computing – AWS Lambda and Azure Functions

2nd of July, 2016 / / 6 Comments

In the Serverless world, we don’t need to setup server. We just take care of codes (called functions). However, one of the major drawbacks of the current FaaS (Function as a Service) providers in the Serverless world is they support lack of code management features. In this post, we’ll compare both AWS Lambda (Lambda) and Azure Functions (Functions) in regards to the source code management.

AWS Lambda

Lambda doesn’t natively support code management.… [Keep reading] “Code Management in Serverless Computing – AWS Lambda and Azure Functions”
