Microsoft needs to pay you for this. You've made Azure accessible to the layman with clear cut, concise explanations that leave no detail behind. Thank you so much for this!
I appreciate the kind words. While Microsoft does not pay me, they are very generous with their own training and access to their engineers. I'm happy to be able to make the product easier to use and more accessible. The product is great and the pricing is extremely generous.
I swear you can read my mind. I was looked to get a better understanding of Custom Item Templates and then that day you release a video. Now I'm looking to getting into Azure Functions and you release a video today haha. Keep up the good work Tim, I'm sure I'm not the only one that appreciates you sharing your knowledge.
Amazing as always, Tim. They weren't even on my radar and I can really make use of them. Even if I never used them it was still worth every minute just to know you can paste a ton of nested JSON as classes to see it organized. Thanks!
Awesome video Tim! The golden part of this video was when you said "I always encourage you try out what you learn, just watching me do this can just be entertainment"
I got into Azure Functions just a few weeks ago. They are INCREDIBLE and super low cost (mostly no cost). I’m not joking when I say, integrating Functions into our workflows has revolutionized our work environment. I say all that to say this: watch this video! Learning it by myself was not pleasant whatsoever!
I love Microsoft backend technology. But there is a big sign on the wall that says: tiny guys beat it, get lost. Functions are useless without a db. I don't know if my project will get off the ground. From the get-go I have a $5/month charge for an SQL db. Compare this to a firebase db. $0/month from the get-go. If my project starts to gain customers I can transition over to use the much better MS SQL. I have grown to hate No-SQL. I did not know about the azure pricing calculator before I watched this video. Thanx Tim for showing me that this is not the option for me to go just yet.
Great great great tutorial.. You have so seamlessly pluck-out the topic of Azure functions from the forest of Azure concepts and put it out as a single module and explained it so well touching all the necessary details like Local development, pricing, deployment, integration with other platforms and future scope. Just loved it man. Thanks for this video.
Very comprehensive intro on Azure Functions with great end-to-end use case! Also well explaining the related services, storage, and options on the different selections! Great help to my Azure journey! Thanks Tim!
These functions are so useful! I took Tim's Azure course and it opened my eyes to all the things I can do with Azure and do so very cheaply or even free in many cases.
@@IAmTimCorey/ @Bill Carpenter - may I ask: is there still a course you offer for this (I wasn't sure if there was something more comprehensive I might be interested in, or if this was just meaning I should search for your TH-cam videos that may also be on functions)?
Another fantastic video Tim, thank you so much. I appreciate how you cover all aspects, including publishing from Visual Studio, setting up the resources and going through the pricing calculator. If that wasn't enough the video was worth watching for the paste JSON as classes tip alone - I was not aware of this option in VS. What a time saver!
Quick tip : Set the video to 1.25x speed, you'll still get the concept and save almost 20 min For those who have short time and don't want to skip any part. BTW : Good video Tim 👍👍
Recently I found your channel and I am loving watching your videos♥ You have great content, and your explaination skills are to the next level. Thanks ton for all that knowledge sharing Tim 😊
Absolutely sensational! Thank you!! I went from knowing next to nil about Azure functions (watched one 15 minute summary video is all), and then primarily just with MVC experience from years back I was able to get through your video and successfully repeat the steps all the way through! That is just unheard of and I'm amazed. Also the variances for the new Visual Studio version I'm on now (as opposed to the time of your recording) were minimal enough that your super-thorough explanations helped make correct estimates on what to select differently within the latest versions. You truly were a life saver. New Patreon support will be coming your way soon :-)
Would you please consider making a playlist or a course that specifically focuses on Azure for developers, that would be amazing. This video is amazing thank you so much
Hi Tim, its really amazing the way you explain because of the simplicity and examples....thx a lot...please continue to help us be better with you knowledge, experience and new videos...
Hi arushi jain, I am in a doubt for several days that how to implement CDS function in azure. please reply ASAP. i didn't find any solution on net. Please provide us a video lecture for the same
Just to clarify @48:35 ... The region of a resource group can be different to the region of the resources/services deployed within that resource group. Hence the option to select a location for the App function. At least that's my understanding. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong!
wowwwww, searching for az funcs from 3 days and here u upload!!! great!!! i wanted to learn, how to run a function, when a zip file is added to blob storage, which should unzip, analyse the log files and return some results to MS Teams channel, still don't know how to do it
Now you know the Azure Function side, you just need to learn the other parts (if you don't know them already). Just break it down into parts and learn each part. I'm sure you will get it.
Thanks for the great explanation! I have a question that I think would benefit others too. Let's say that I want to create a simple website for a barbershop that allows users to book appointments. Since it's a small business, in order to make hosting completely free, I thought I should make a serverless application using Azure Functions (instead of a web api that would require hosting), firebase authentication and cloud firestore for a DB. After that I would host the website (simple html and css) in Azure Static Web Apps. Do you think this way is viable in terms of security and overall effectiveness? Or should Azure functions be used only for computer to computer scenarios and avoid communicating with the user?
You can definitely use Azure for B2C interactions. For example, the suggestion site ( suggestions.iamtimcorey.com ) is hosted on an Azure Web App with MongoDB in Atlas and has customer interactions. My main website ( www.iamtimcorey.com ) is hosted on Azure Static Web Apps and it is what handles most of my income. I go to Azure when I want reliability, features, and scalability.
At around 28:30 mark you said about the dynamic data object that you have to know what.they (properties) are, otherwise you have to search through it. Can you explain your thinking about that? I can see there might be situations where I don’t know what the attributes are ahead of time, but I would still need to pull them out and do something with them.
Absolutely amazing video and superb explanation Tim. Thanks a lot for this video. I am very new to Azure and started learning recently. My boss asked me to create an Azure function and I was thinking what can be the use case for this in my project. This video helped me finding it. I am planning to create Azure function which can trigger an email to a user if the file in the blob storage is successfully validated by my .Net 6 application.
I have been following your content for years and you always engage on a level that makes the content easy to digest. I am currently looking for ideas to trigger an azure synapse pipeline after a file is dropped into an azure storage account file-share. I feel that azure functions might be a suitable candidate to implement this. Azure synapse pipelines don't natively support this at the moment. Microsoft do offer a custom events trigger extension capability. However, so far I have found very little evidence demonstrating how to leverage this capability to trigger my synapse pipeline. Any assistance with approaches to solving this would be greatlyt appreciated. Thanks.
Hey Tim, tnx for your nice presentation. I just do have a small hint for you. How about double checking the SRP definition 😉 (Uncle Bob - Clean Architecture). Good luck
Can we replace WebAPIs with Azure Function? I am using Web APIs and calling other service layers/classes, to access repositories[Class Library Projects]. but I want to migrate to Azure Functions instead of web apis , I don't wan to touch other projects / class library
22:10 - You allowed incoming connections from the public network. I just want a JS FaaS API with a PaaS DB. Back in 2015 with Meteor and CoffeScript in a VM, cloud APIs were easy AF. Now Azure Repos only offers a pipeline to Linux, while Azure Functions for Node recommends Windows, and CosmosDB doesn't have an example short of the TODO example that doesn't quite work (Reading or replacing offers is not supported for serverless accounts. & TypeError: process.stdin.setRawMode is not a function at exit (sql-nodejs\app.js:186:17)).
Your videos are amazing, but costly for a few people like me but I don't deny that they much valuable and worth a penny. I hope too see some discount scheme 😆 Thanks Tim, Learnt lot from your videos, Kudos to you Sir
Another question that is probably a newbie one--Why when you finally got the payload from Github, did it only contain the fields (i.e. "public string followers_url { get; set; }") but no actual data such as an actual url?
I just noticed in the pricing calculator that the million calls per month is only free if the execution time is less than 3.2 seconds. If it's slower than that, firstly what the heck are you doing, and secondly, you will be paying for that function. It's still insanely cheap, but is good to be aware of.
I think that is a newer edition. So I looked into it a bit more. You get 400,000 GB of transactions. The smallest amount of memory your app can use is 128MB (they round to each 128MB). So, if you wanted the full 1 million transactions for free, each would need to be 3.125 seconds long or less. If you wanted half a million transactions, they could run for 6.25 seconds each. In theory, you could do one transaction a month that would run for 833 minutes (there is a cap of 5 minutes per call for standard functions though). So don't worry if a function runs over 3 seconds long unless you are pushing the edges of that 1 million calls a month number. As for what a function could possibly be doing for 3 seconds, that is a good question. It should typically not run that long unless you are asking it to do too much (less a function and more of a batch job).
gr8 video Tim, you made Azure function so simple to learn and stat with. I love the way you explained, initially thought should I spent 1 hour on this video but now I felt it is worth to watch it. I am none to suggest but still honestly suggesting that I felt pricing part too much boring because of time you spent on it, thought we are diverting original topic. Please don't mind.
@@tomthelestaff-iamtimcorey7597 that pricing actually was one of the things I am sure I would be asked by any folks I'd be creating these for, as pricing is a major factor in what to leverage among a myriad of options. I love that you indicated you just Google for the URL, and you keep the "cookies on the bottom shelf" with real world needs like this that I am absolutely certain I would need to know. Also, since I needed to have my system set up with this in prep. for a technical review - it gave me the encouragement to sign up for a "pay as you go" account (instead of just the initial free 200 credits, with which I was receiving an error during the Publish steps for some reason until switching).
We are gonna use azure function in order push telemetry data from our monolithic app to azure function and from there we are gonna push those events to app insights this will help to offload some amount of work to azure functions and will improve the performance of our application and we will process the events using batch logging
Hey Tim, great Tutorials you got there! At 50:10 i get an Error when trying to publish my App. After clicking on "Create" i get this Error: "Template deployment failed. Deployment operation statuses: Failed The scale operation is not allowed for this subscription in this region. Try selecting different region or scale option." After this i have an entry in my AzurePortal showing me my App Service. Does someoney know any reason?
Because of the extreme load Azure is under, they have shut down free trials in some areas to try to compensate. That is probably why you had the issue.
I am trying to create a web API built from azure functions and i want it to an able to read/write from a database. I remember in your web api videos you saying that you should have database interaction occur in a class library and then the API calls on that if it needs to communicate to the database. While i understand how that works with traditional api approach, how would it be setup using azure functions? Do you just disclude using a class library for database interaction when using azure functions? I remember in this video you gave an example of accessing a database inside an azure function so I'm a bit confused on the common/best practice for database interaction when using azure function.
Yep, you can use a class library with Azure Functions. The trick, though, is to be sure you aren't violating the spirit of a function. If you are trying to create a full API, use ASP.NET Core API.
@@IAmTimCorey what qualifies as a "full api"? I was going to go the azure function route because the serverless architecture is very appealing since you don't need to manage a server and it's basically free. I would hate to go the traditional approach for web api because you have to own a server and pay for it.
I'm making a whole course on it (it isn't a simple topic, nor are traditional microservices a good option for any application smaller than a large enterprise application). I'll be working on bringing the principles of microservices to smaller applications. This video is a good first step in that direction.
Could you please create a separate video for Serilog logging in Azure functions , As It looks like serilog doesn't support logging in Azure function and I couldn't find any article or video in internet that shows any kind of example. Thanks in advance
I am watching "Intro to Azure Functions", and I have a question. After you created the Resource Group and Storage Account in Azure, how does VS know to add those in the dropdown while you publish the function? Also, what is the Subscription field for, where you entered "Visual Studio Enterprise"?
You log into Visual Studio with the account that you use in Azure so that VS knows what Azure subscriptions you have, and then what items you have in Azure (such as the Resource Groups and Storage accounts).
Here is an example from the TimCo Retail Manager Course: var output = _sql.LoadData("dbo.spProduct_GetAll", new { }, "TRMData"); That one line calls the spProduct_GetAll stored procedure, loads all the data from it and populates the output variable with a List
This is JUST GREAT!!!! Thanks Tim.. I can't wait to start using it (and already have thousands of idea flying through my mind when I was watching this..) I was wondering if this could be a good fit to use with db heavy queries that doesnt need an instant response to client but process the data in application. Would it be an overkill? Say I have a scheduled jobs which are doing some process in the background, maybe moving those background jobs to Azure Functions to AVOID consuming the same resources with the app on VM? I would appreciate your comment on that. Once again, THANK YOU!
Microsoft needs to pay you for this. You've made Azure accessible to the layman with clear cut, concise explanations that leave no detail behind. Thank you so much for this!
I appreciate the kind words. While Microsoft does not pay me, they are very generous with their own training and access to their engineers. I'm happy to be able to make the product easier to use and more accessible. The product is great and the pricing is extremely generous.

gr8 video Tim, you made Azure function so simple to learn and stat with. I love the way you explained, initially thought should I spent 1 hour on this video but now I felt it is worth to watch it. I am none to suggest but still honestly suggesting that I felt pricing part too much boring because of time you spent on it, thought we are diverting original topic. Please don't mind.
Thanks for sharing
@@tomthelestaff-iamtimcorey7597 that pricing actually was one of the things I am sure I would be asked by any folks I'd be creating these for, as pricing is a major factor in what to leverage among a myriad of options. I love that you indicated you just Google for the URL, and you keep the "cookies on the bottom shelf" with real world needs like this that I am absolutely certain I would need to know. Also, since I needed to have my system set up with this in prep. for a technical review - it gave me the encouragement to sign up for a "pay as you go" account (instead of just the initial free 200 credits, with which I was receiving an error during the Publish steps for some reason until switching).
Amazing TIm.
Thanks!
Thanks for this video Tim...I learn today my first Azure Function.
Excellent!
Another great tutorial! Thanks a lot!
You are welcome.
We are gonna use azure function in order push telemetry data from our monolithic app to azure function and from there we are gonna push those events to app insights this will help to offload some amount of work to azure functions and will improve the performance of our application and we will process the events using batch logging
Great!
Hey Tim, great Tutorials you got there!
At 50:10 i get an Error when trying to publish my App. After clicking on "Create" i get this Error:
"Template deployment failed. Deployment operation statuses: Failed
The scale operation is not allowed for this subscription in this region. Try selecting different region or scale option."
After this i have an entry in my AzurePortal showing me my App Service. Does someoney know any reason?
Looks like i have to change my region to East US too since Germany is not supported in the free-trial.
Because of the extreme load Azure is under, they have shut down free trials in some areas to try to compensate. That is probably why you had the issue.
Great video. Thank you
You are welcome.
It would be appreciating if you can share the tutorial video for azure 204.
I don't have a video on that topic. I can look into it, but no promises. I would recommend you leave it as a suggestion at suggestions.iamtimcorey.com
you sir are a great guy
Thanks!
Awesome video!
Thank you!
Amazing Tim Thanks so much
We appreciate you trusting Tim to help build your skill set. Thanks for watching!
TimCo, You're awesome :)
Thanks!
I am trying to create a web API built from azure functions and i want it to an able to read/write from a database. I remember in your web api videos you saying that you should have database interaction occur in a class library and then the API calls on that if it needs to communicate to the database. While i understand how that works with traditional api approach, how would it be setup using azure functions? Do you just disclude using a class library for database interaction when using azure functions? I remember in this video you gave an example of accessing a database inside an azure function so I'm a bit confused on the common/best practice for database interaction when using azure function.
Yep, you can use a class library with Azure Functions. The trick, though, is to be sure you aren't violating the spirit of a function. If you are trying to create a full API, use ASP.NET Core API.
@@IAmTimCorey what qualifies as a "full api"? I was going to go the azure function route because the serverless architecture is very appealing since you don't need to manage a server and it's basically free. I would hate to go the traditional approach for web api because you have to own a server and pay for it.
Wow! Thank you for sharing. You made a complex topic into easily digested pieces. I can't wait for your next videos.
I am glad it was so clear.
Hi Tim, Thank you for the course. I want to purchase your cloud computing course on your site - are the videos up to date? Thank you.
Yes, they are.
@27:50, this is only partially correct JSON. In order to have completely valid JSON, you'd have to surround your keys with quotation marks as well 🤓
lol thanks.
Great as usual thank you. Can you make a video on micro services architecture?
I'm making a whole course on it (it isn't a simple topic, nor are traditional microservices a good option for any application smaller than a large enterprise application). I'll be working on bringing the principles of microservices to smaller applications. This video is a good first step in that direction.
Thanks for the awesome video! Gave me some clarity :-)
You're welcome!
Could you please create a separate video for Serilog logging in Azure functions , As It looks like serilog doesn't support logging in Azure function and I couldn't find any article or video in internet that shows any kind of example. Thanks in advance

Great Content.Thank you.
You are welcome.
I am watching "Intro to Azure Functions", and I have a question. After you created the Resource Group and Storage Account in Azure, how does VS know to add those in the dropdown while you publish the function? Also, what is the Subscription field for, where you entered "Visual Studio Enterprise"?
You log into Visual Studio with the account that you use in Azure so that VS knows what Azure subscriptions you have, and then what items you have in Azure (such as the Resource Groups and Storage accounts).
This is crazy powerful.
Yep.
Really great tutorial!
Tim, you mentioned that you can add one line to write to SQL. Can you provide an example?
Here is an example from the TimCo Retail Manager Course:
var output = _sql.LoadData("dbo.spProduct_GetAll", new { }, "TRMData");
That one line calls the spProduct_GetAll stored procedure, loads all the data from it and populates the output variable with a List
Thank you! This helps!
Nicely explained...
Thanks!
This is JUST GREAT!!!! Thanks Tim.. I can't wait to start using it (and already have thousands of idea flying through my mind when I was watching this..) I was wondering if this could be a good fit to use with db heavy queries that doesnt need an instant response to client but process the data in application. Would it be an overkill? Say I have a scheduled jobs which are doing some process in the background, maybe moving those background jobs to Azure Functions to AVOID consuming the same resources with the app on VM? I would appreciate your comment on that. Once again, THANK YOU!
Hi tim)!
Can you make a video about application insights on azure?
Noted, added to the list! Thanks
