  • Building an API? The 33 tools you need to consider
    Another interesting angle is building ‘serverless’ functions using AWS Lambda or Azure functions to implement the API. I’ve found that the architectural complexity eats a lot of time, but if you’re already familiar with those platforms, it might be an easy way to build a couple of endpoints. - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago

    Vapor runs on AWS Lambda. Azure has “functions”… but they aren’t close to what Lambda can offer. Source: almost 3 years ago
  • Side Project: RedirectMe
    The application is simple and my intent is only to have a really short amount of API endpoints (at least for now), so I created the back-end API with Azure Functions, using .NET Core 3.1 (migration to .NET 6 and Azure Functions v4 planned - another post planned to follow it) since there was not a lot of processing to be done on each endpoint. - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago
  • What is serverless computing?
    Some providers, such as Amazon or Microsoft offer general-purpose services, capable of hosting any type of code, with access to a fairly large number of parameters.

  • Simplify Using Hooks by Using Custom Hooks in React
    After working with AngularJS for a little while, a colleague recommended React, and then after trying (and failing with) Redux, I embraced hooks and naturally function components in React. While my back end APIs are still all written in .NET Core, and now that .NET Core has become .NET 6, I don't even run my front-end SPAs in ASP.NET any more. They are now static web pages created as React projects with npm hosted... - Source: dev.to / over 3 years ago
  • Calling Powershell from Okta workflows
    You may also want to look at https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/functions/ Azure Functions. They are "serverless" functions that can be invoked via HTTP. AWS calls it "AWS Lambda", but they are the same - the main reason to use Azure Functions is that they support powershell. Source: almost 4 years ago

Users only write the... - Source: dev.to / almost 4 years ago
