Serverless Data APIs with Azure Functions and Cosmos DB

on YouTube ↗43m

" summary

Demo builds three functions that use Azure Functions with Cosmos DB and Node.js, wired by bindings: an HTTP subscribe API (stores phone numbers), an HTTP event inserter (logs a “dog cookie” event), and a Cosmos DB trigger that reads the subscribers collection and sends via Twilio SMS. Configuration lives in function.json and app settings (secrets), code is a few lines, runs locally in Visual Studio Code, debugs with breakpoints, and the live demo successfully sends messages.
