Taking Mobile Development Serverless with C#

on YouTube ↗50m

" summary

A cross‑platform app called Island Tracker uses Xamarin.Forms on iOS and Android and an entirely serverless backend built with Azure Functions and Azure Table Storage. The demo shows local development: HTTP and blob triggers running in the Functions CLI, hot reload on devices, deep links for friend invites, and a no‑login friend system using public/private keys stored in secure storage. The system scales on demand, is pay‑per‑use, and the full source is on GitHub.
