DeveloperWeek 2023

Ricardo Covo, Cloud Solution Architect, Microsoft

Forget about infrastructure and boost your productivity with serverless.

The next evolution of the cloud is here! Frontends, backends, messaging and even databases are now offered as serverless services that can enable rapid, powerful development, with built-in resiliency and scalability.

Serverless services have grown very quickly and broadly. Today you can build modern applications quickly with Serverless offerings for your frontend, your backend, and even your database, without worrying about or managing servers. It is safe to say, the serverless development model helps developers deliver more business value, quicker.

In this session, we will go through a completely serverless application, explaining each layer along the way, including a React JS Front End hosted on Azure Static Web Apps, a C# backend build on Azure Functions and a No-Sql Database on Azure CosmosDB. All Serverless services, with built-in resiliency and scalability.

While we will be using Azure for demonstration purposes, other similar offerings will be mentioned.
