In this article, we will be implementing an "orchestrated" flow, or interaction if you will, as discussed in the previous article. So, this will be quite a technical and a lengthy post, so better get your coffee refill before we start. What can you see in this article: Using an HTTP client for communication between… Continue reading Serverless Microservices: Building an orchestrated workflow with Azure Durable functions
Well, in the last article, we built a serverless microservice. But one microservice on its own doesn't do much "by design". In this post, we will start accelerating our microservice game, by adding a "simple" requirement that will shape our system. The game plan Well, looking ahead we will be building some new microservices, also… Continue reading Building Serverless Microservices – Picking the right design
We will be building a fully functional "microservice" that will be able to add, remove and return a list of products. For this example we will model the the way this microservice will be consumed will be done via REST. Get you coding hat on, we are about to start.
This is one of the awesome things that I think can be done in functions, which also enables us to build lot of very interesting mechanics, it's not that complicated to pull of, but the results of using this technique might lead to very impressive outcomes. This is part of a mini-series where we want… Continue reading Dynamically select orchestrators in Azure Durable Functions

One of the use-cases for having a DI is to read and use "feature flags" in the form of configuration values/environment variables. So for the big question, how do we go from here (local.appsettings.json / env variables):… Continue reading Inject configuration values in Azure Functions
