Serverless microservices with Azure Container Apps
summary
Azure Container Apps runs serverless containers on managed Kubernetes with KEDA autoscaling, scale-to-zero and integrated Dapr sidecars. Demo deploys a web + API + background order processor via Bicep and a simple CLI pipeline, connects logs to Log Analytics, and uses an Azure Service Bus scaler (queue length threshold 1) to wake a processor from 0 to about 8–10 replicas and consume thousands of messages. Revisions enable zero‑downtime rollouts and traffic splitting; pricing is per-request (≈$0.56/million, 2M free) plus CPU/memory active and idle rates.
