This book provides practical guidance for adopting a high velocity continuous delivery process
to create reliable scalable Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions that are designed and
built using a microservice architecture deployed to the Azure cloud and managed through
automation. Microservices IoT and Azure offers software developers architects and
operations engineers' step-by-step directions for building SaaS applications-applications that
are available 24x7 work on any device scale elastically and are resilient to change--through
code script exercises and a working reference implementation. The book provides a working
definition of microservices and contrasts this approach with traditional monolithic Layered
Architecture. A fictitious homebiomedical startup is used to demonstrate microservice
architecture and automation capabilities for cross-cutting and business services as well as
connected device scenarios for Internet of Things(IoT). Several Azure PaaS services are
detailed including Storage SQL Database DocumentDb Redis Cache Cloud Services Web API's
API Management IoT Hub IoT Suite Event Hub and Stream Analytics. Finally the book looks to
the future and examines Service Fabric to see how microservices are becoming the de facto
approach to building reliable software in the cloud. In this book you'll learn: What
microservices are and why are they're a compelling architecture pattern for SaaS applications
How to design develop and deploy microservices using Visual Studio PowerShell and Azure
Microservice patterns for cross-cutting concerns and business capabilities Microservice
patterns for Internet of Things and big data analytics solutions using IoT Hub Event Hub and
Stream Analytics Techniques for automating microservice provisioning building and deployment
What Service Fabric is and how it's the future direction for microservices on Microsoft Azure
