Azure - Workflow¶

Intro. Quick recommendations and tips for various processes.

Development Workflow¶

1. Write your functions
2. Run function app locally by using sls offline and npm start (or func host start). See quickstart.
3. Use serverless deploy to deploy your function app (preferably in a CI/CD environment)
4. Use serverless invoke -f myFunction to test your Azure Functions.

Larger Projects¶

• Break your application/project into multiple Function Apps.
• Model your Function Apps around Data Models or Workflows.
• Keep the Functions and Resources in your Function Apps to a minimum.

Cheat Sheet¶

A handy list of commands to use when developing with the Serverless Framework.

Create A Function App:¶

Install the boilerplate application:

• with node:

sls create -t azure-nodejs -p my-app

• with python:

sls create -t azure-python -p my-app

Install A Service¶

This is a convenience method to install a pre-made Serverless Service locally by downloading the GitHub repo and unzipping it.

serverless install -u [GITHUB URL OF SERVICE]

Deploy¶

Use this when you have made changes to your Function App

sls deploy

Invoke Function¶

Invokes an Azure Function

sls invoke function -f [FUNCTION NAME]
