CloudFront Functions allow you to deploy serverless JavaScript functions to AWS' network of edge locations to be executed as close as possible to end-users. This article will get you started.

Since our latest update, Dashbird also gives you insights into HTTP API Gateway. Let’s look at the differences between REST vs. HTTP; HTTP API Gateway pricing, integrations and monitoring.

Serverless architecture is a bit of a misnomer. The term itself implies your applications aren’t running on any servers, which isn’t the case. Serverless architecture means a cloud provider—such as Google, Amazon Web Services (AWS), or Microsoft Azure—provides and owns the back-end infrastructure, which has its own pros and cons. Serverless architecture is sometimes also referred to as function as a service (FaaS) or serverless computing.

With the emergence of the hybrid solutions, solutions such as BizTalk Server that were purely on-premises solutions are communicating with SaaS solutions and are being deployed in a hybrid model. There are many advantages to cloud integration. Organizations can take advantage of powerful features of the Azure Platform and other cloud-based services from Microsoft, such as Service Bus, Logic Apps, Power BI, and Event Hub.

Lambda is a top-rated compute service available on the AWS cloud service network. Its popularity largely derives from its ease of use, allowing users to run Lambda functions reliably without provisioning or managing servers. Lambda can be triggered manually or by any linked events in the AWS network, including DynamoDB streams, SQS, Kinesis, and more.

I recently published a post regarding BizTalk Schema Validation: DateTime Restrictions on my personal blog. Still, I was curious to see if we have the same capability in Logic Apps Standard and Consumption. And by doing that, see how compatible these two technologies are regarding XML Schemas and validations.

The Simple Notification Service, or SNS for short, is one of the central services to build serverless architectures in the AWS cloud. SNS itself is a serverless messaging service that can distribute massive numbers of messages to different recipients. These include mobile end-user devices, like smartphones and tablets, but also other services inside the AWS ecosystem. SNS’ ability to target AWS services makes it the perfect companion for AWS Lambda.

There are such cloud services that can drastically accelerate your innovation and reduce your time to market by providing you with functionalities that are simple, ready-to-use and that allow you to add a real added-value to your users. Azure Communication Services is one of those. In this article, we’ll have an overview of what Azure Communication Services (“ACS” for short) is, what functionalities it provides and what are some of the use cases in which it can be leveraged.

Azure SQL Database is at the heart of many applications running on Azure. Whether a company is migrating its on-premises applications to Azure or designing a new application from scratch, there are high chances of Azure SQL Database being considered and used.

Many organizations leverage AWS to build fully managed, event-driven applications, which break down complex workloads into APIs, event streams, and other decentralized services in order to improve performance and scalability. This type of architecture relies primarily on AWS Lambda functions to process synchronous and asynchronous requests as they move between a workload’s resources, such as Amazon API Gateway and Amazon Kinesis.
