Serverless computing is a cloud computing execution model in which the cloud provider dynamically manages the allocation of machine resources. Typically, applications consist of stateless custom code that's run in ephemeral containers (Function as a Service or "FaaS"), which be spun up on demand. As a result of it, serverless applications tend to be highly scalable.

The objective of the talk is to show how to build and deploy elastic-scale applications serverless applications. The code examples for the talk are in C# and using Azure Functions.

Azure Functions is Serverless offering by Microsoft and is an event driven, compute-on-demand experience that extends the existing Azure application platform with capabilities to implement code triggered by events occurring in Azure or third-party service as well as on-premises systems.
