Microsoft Azure Developer: Developing for Autoscaling

This course will showcase what are some of the most important things you should focus on when writing cloud-enabled applications and writing code that scales using Azure infrastructure.

Using Microsoft Azure as a hosting and services provider enables developers to write modern cloud-first applications. In this course, Microsoft Azure Developer: Developing for Autoscaling, you'll gain the ability to use Azure and leverage a built-in autoscaling system that takes care of all heavy lifting, leaving you, the developer, to only think about your code. First, you'll learn how the autoscaling on Azure works. Next, you'll explore various cloud patterns that enable your application to scale better. Finally, you'll discover how to write code that can be executed in parallel efficiently. By the end of this course, you'll have the knowledge to efficiently create an autoscaling strategy for your own applications.
