Hands-on Workshop: Refactor Node.js and Express APIs to Serverless APIs with Azure Functions

on YouTube ↗52m

" summary

Refactors a Node.js + Express API into Azure Functions by copying the services, replacing Express request/response types with Azure Functions context.req/context.res destructuring, and creating four HTTP-trigger functions (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE) with adjusted function.json edits and route parameters. Uses VS Code, Azure Functions Core Tools and the Functions extension to run Angular on 4200 and functions on 7071, hits breakpoints in the debugger, and validates behavior. Live pricing demo shows nearly free execution until huge scale—about ~$0.02 at ~101 million executions.
