You will learn how to design ingestion pipelines with HTTP triggers and queues, orchestrate workflows with Durable Functions, manage data in Cosmos DB, implement event-driven flows using Event Grid, and monitor system health with Application Insights. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThrough its structured approach, this book bridges foundational concepts with practical engineering patterns. The first section establishes the core principles of distributed systems, event-driven design, and serverless computing using Azure Functions. The next section explores orchestration, workflow automation, security, and observability—equipping you with integration techniques for real-world enterprise systems. And the operations and advanced section delves into CI\/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and modern deployment strategies.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBy the end of the book, you will have a complete reference architecture that mirrors real-world systems such as ecommerce checkouts, financial workflows, or insurance claims processing—preparing them to confidently design, deploy, and scale resilient serverless systems in .NET and Azure.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat You Will Learn\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDesign real production-grade serverless architectures on Azure\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eUse Azure Functions, Durable Functions, Event Grid, Service Bus, Cosmos DB, Azure Storage, and API Management together\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHandle the hard concerns, including idempotency, orchestration vs. choreography, failure compensation instead of try\/catch, event contracts and versioning, observability and tracing, secure B2B\/API-to-API flows, zero downtime deployments, and cost-control under scale\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEvolve an initially simple Azure Function into a mature, modular, multi-service, maintainable serverless system using domain-driven thinking, event modelling, and clean architectural boundaries\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTake a full system from development to production, including CI\/CD pipelines, environment isolation, secret management, networking, and much more\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho This Book Is For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e.NET Developers and Azure Service architects\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-start=\"23\" data-end=\"732\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"OutlineElement Ltr SCXW80291785 BCX0\"\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"Paragraph SCXW80291785 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TextRun SCXW80291785 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW80291785 BCX0\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"normaltextrun\" data-ccp-charstyle-defn='{\"ObjectId\":\"ac0262f4-8a9e-5820-b908-2d943c5f7113|1\",\"ClassId\":1073872969,\"Properties\":[469777841,\"Times New Roman\",469777842,\"Times New Roman\",469777843,\"Times New Roman\",469777844,\"Times New Roman\",469769226,\"Times New Roman\",469775450,\"normaltextrun\",201340122,\"1\",134233614,\"true\",469778129,\"normaltextrun\",335572020,\"1\",469778324,\"Default Paragraph Font\"]}'\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePatrick Kearns\u003c\/strong\u003e is a senior software engineer, architect, and DevOps practitioner with more than three decades of professional experience, including more than 20 years working with .NET.
