No matter which tech event you attend, there will be someone talking about Microservices. It may not be for you at this moment but it's a fact that Microservices architecture advances loosely coupled services which can be developed, deployed and scaled independently. This architecture style also bring some challenges to the table and I'll address one of them in this article.

TLDR; this covers how to connect towards a SQL Server database from Node.js. This is the second part of a series on how to build a Logic App with an accompanying Serverless API. Part I - scaffolding a database and building the Logic App Part II, we are here, we will build a Serverless function that connect to a SQL Server database that we set up in part one.

"Bezserverové počítání" je nastupující trend v hostování backendových aplikací a my jsme si do podcastu .NET.CZ pozvali Romana Jaška, aby nám přiblížil, co je serverless, jak se pracuje s Azure Functions, zda je potřeba uvažovat nad změnou architektury, kolik vlastně stojí atd.

In a previous post, I explained how to created an Azure Automation to execute a PowerShell script that deletes all expired resources. In this how-to guide, I will use the power of serverless to clean-up our mess. After reading this article, you will know how to create an Azure Function to serverless delete all resources that are "expired".

Monitoring is an extremely important aspect of cloud solutions.  This blog shows how you can automatically create Azure Monitor alerts for each resource that is created within your subscription.  Based on the resource type, the appropriate alerts are automatically configured.
The solution uses Azure Event Grid to react on resource events inside your subscription, Logic Apps to orchestrate the workflows and Azure Function's PowerShell support (in preview) to apply the alerts, based on best practices.

TLDR; this article will spend time describing Logic Apps, when it's a good candidate and what parts it consists of. We will end by building something in it.
In this article the Why, the What and a Demo will be covered.
