Serverless in SharePoint Online – Build services with Azure Functions.
As a developer in the SharePoint world – there is a lot to like about client-side customizations. You can test and deploy easily, it works usually everywhere, and it’s usually very easy to deploy.
That is, until you need to deploy some sort of hosted stuff. Suddenly, you have to find a server, or host a VM, or buy Azure WebJob? Or what’s this Docker thing, do I need to know this?
Thank goodness, it seems like if you wait a bit, the Internet comes up with ways to solve your problems – Serverless is the new buzzword and it will solve your problems and let you focus on what you do best – write code. Not run servers.
Now we can all be happy again.
In this session you will learn:
- Authenticating with Azure AD
- Talk to lists and document libaries
- Calls to SharePoint Search
- Build timer jobs
- Hook up webhooks and do remote event receivers
- NOT worry about Servers!
This session was delivered at the Collab365 Global Conference 2016 and was presented by John Liu.
