Over the years we have seen an accelerated shift to adopting serverless and cloud-native application architectures. Benefits to these architectures include decreased infrastructure costs and improved time to market, however, it's still important to consider high availability and resiliency in your application design. In this session, Callon will talk about developing scalable enterprise serverless applications on Azure with .NET and use a real-world example of a solution he developed and running in production.

- 14. Microsoft Azure Scale and latency
- 15. Microsoft Azure Cold-starts • When choosing the ‘Consumption’ plan, you will have elastic scale but at the cost of cold starts. • A cold-start is a small amount of time needed to warm up the resources and execute your functions. Consumption plan runs on a shared environment and resources need to be allocated. • Cold-start could take 1-3 seconds. 15
- 16. Microsoft Azure Premium Functions • Avoid cold-start with perpetually warm instances • Dynamically scale as needed • Consistent performance • Network isolation, VNet connectivity • Long running execution (60min guaranteed) • Better predictable pricing 16

- 19. Microsoft Azure Use multiple instances & deploy to multiple regions 19 Multiple instances: • Azure Functions provides the means to automatically scale when needed • Allocate minimum instances in the Scale out (App Service Plan) blade • Set number of pre-warmed instances Deploy to multiple regions: • Leverage Azure Front Door or Traffic Manager to intercept traffic before it hits your site • Helps with routing and distribution between your instances and regions • Route incoming requests based on the customer’s geography
- 20. Microsoft Azure Leverage deployment slots 20 Why use slots? • Different environments for different purposes – test your changes • Prewarming • Easy fallbacks How are functions affected by swapping slots? • Traffic redirection is seamless; no requests are dropped because of a swap. • If a function is running during a swap, execution continues, and the next triggers are routed to the swapped app instance. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-deployment-slots

- 22. Microsoft Azure Storage (RS-GRS) 22 READ-ACCESS GEO-REDUNDANT STORAGE Redundancy in the primary region • Locally redundant storage (LRS) copies your data synchronously three times within a single physical location in the primary region. • Zone-redundant storage (ZRS) copies your data synchronously across three Azure availability zones in the primary region. Redundancy in a secondary region • Geo-redundant storage (with GRS or GZRS) replicates your data to another physical location in the secondary region to protect against regional outages. • Design your applications for read access to the secondary region.
