Build Nodejs APIs using Serverless on Azure
summary
Builds a Node.js API on Azure Functions, connects it to Cosmos DB via the MongoDB API, and deploys from VS Code using the Azure Functions extension; local.settings.json holds secrets, npm install brings node_modules into the function project, and reusing the DB connection reuse DB connection saves ~300ms per request. Generates ARM templates with Azure Resource Manager Tools, sets up Azure DevOps CI/CD to zip-and-deploy code, watches Application Insights live metrics and runs Artillery load tests to show instant scale under load.
