Lab Overview

Azure serverless architecture enables you to build and deploy applications without managing infrastructure. By combining services like Azure Storage, Azure Functions, and Table Storage, you can create scalable, cost-effective solutions that only charge you for actual usage. This approach is particularly powerful for solutions like contact forms, where traditional always-on servers would be inefficient and expensive for sporadic traffic patterns.

In this lab, you will build a fully functional serverless contact form using Azure Storage for static website hosting and data storage, paired with Azure Functions for serverless request processing. You'll learn how to create a complete web application that scales automatically, requires zero server maintenance, and costs only pennies per month to operate.

Objectives

Upon completion of this intermediate level lab, you will be able to:

  • Create and configure Azure Storage Account and Function App resources
  • Build an Azure Function locally and deploy it to your Function App in Azure
  • Host a static website built with HTML and JavaScript on your Azure Storage Account
  • Configure CORS policies on Function Apps to enable secure cross-origin communication
  • Test end-to-end serverless application flows from user interface to data storage
  • Verify data persistence in Azure Table Storage using the Azure Portal Storage browser
