Azure Functions - Integration in no Time! by Marco Amhof

Azure Functions are a solution for easily provisioning and running small pieces of code, or “functions,” in the Azure cloud. Just write the code you need, without worrying about an entire application or the infrastructure to run it. Using Azure Functions can make development even more productive, while you can use your development language of choice, such as C#, F#, Node.js, Python or PHP. Azure allows you to scale as needed and pay only what you consume.

Marco has been involved in application development for over 20 years, including 15 years in the Microsoft environment. He is a principal consultant at Trivadis AG with a focus on the design and realization of OLTP applications, datawarehouses and BI applications in customer projects. He shares his knowledge as a trainer in various Microsoft BI trainings.
