How to run Azure Cognitive Services in containers?

Azure Cognitive Services is one of prebuild products that allows us to add AI to our application very quickly. You can develop AI features without the required help of a data scientist. In most cases, you are using the cloud version of this service. When just after creating a service, you can connect to is by library or API. When to use containers? In some cases, this is not enough. You would like better control your data, smaller latency, higher throughput, or improved scalability. These characteristics are the most important for me when I think about moving those services to [...]

Azure Messaging – stats

From time to time I am trying to figure out the size of Azure cloud. It is not so easy to acquire such data. Because of that I like to go sometimes to presentation that is conducted by somebody from Microsoft. In most cases such presentation contains rather marketing content than practical one. But quite often you can see interesting data. In September during Progressive .NET 2017 I got luck. In one of presentation some statistic regarding Azure Messaging has been revealed. The first thing that came to my mind was reflection that on the one hand this solution works [...]

Caching in Azure Function – how you can use Redis

I believe that you should know that Microsoft has prepared some set of components that can be used for integration purposes. You are able to consume the following services in our function: Azure Storage, Azure Event Hubs, Azure Service Bus, Azure Mobile Apps, Azure Cosmos DB, Azure Notification Hubs, Twilio, SendGrid. On the one hand this list is not so big. On the other one you can address with those services a lot of typical scenarios. But sometimes you need to do something more. Today I would like to share with how easily you can use Redis cache in Azure [...]

Mocking API with Azure Functions

The biggest advantage of Azure Functions is reducing time-to-market of our application. We can also use them to make prototyping more effective. From some time you are able to define mock of our function in Azure Portal. Function defined as mock will respond on request according to its configuration. I believe that this solution has a great potential. It can be very useful in all sort of application’s prototyping activities. You just need to define our end point and its response. And that is all. You can start using it in you prototype. So you define correct connections in your application [...]

Azure Functions – Lessons learned

Nowadays all topics related to Cloud and Serverless terms have become very popular. One of such elements are Azure Functions. Microsoft defines it as: Azure Functions is a solution for easily running small pieces of code, or “functions,” in the cloud. You can write just the code you need for the problem at hand, without worrying about a whole application or the infrastructure to run it. Functions can make development even more productive, and you can use your development language of choice, such as C#, F#, Node.js, Python or PHP. Pay only for the time your code runs and trust [...]
