Serverless models abstract the underlying compute infrastructure, allowing developers to focus on business logic without needing extensive startup or maintenance cost to set up the solution. Serverless reduces overall costs since you only pay for the duration the code was executed, meaning an event-driven model is suitable for situations where an event triggers a defined action. For example, receiving an incoming device messages to store for later use, or a database update that needs some further processing.<\/p>\n

There are many places to start when it comes to serverless computing, but let’s start with a CI\/CD application frontend.<\/p>\n

CI\/CD for serverless application frontend on Azure<\/h2>\n

Serverless computing abstracts the servers, infrastructure, and operating systems, allowing developers to focus on application development. A robust CI\/CD (or\u00a0Continuous Integration\/Continuous Delivery) of such applications allows companies to ship fully tested and integrated software versions within minutes of development. It provides the backbone of the modern DevOps environment.<\/p>\n

But what does CI\/CD actually mean?<\/p>\n
