Azure Serverless Shopping Cart – Part 1
In the previous part we talked about basic concept of the application. In this part we’ll setup local Azure environment and create the project template. We’ll create the new project based on Azure Functions template. At the end we’ll test if the application is running.
Prerequisites:
- Visual Studio 17 (or newer) or Visual Studio Code
- .NET Core 3.x
- Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer (optional)
In case you’re using Visual Studio 17 you need to install extension for Azure Functions – “Azure Functions and Web Jobs Tools”.
For Visual Studio 19 you need Azure development pack. You can add it from Visual Studio Installer
We’ll use Azure Functions v3 that requires .NET Core 3.x.
For local development we’ll use storage emulator. The storage emulator is available as part of the Microsoft Azure SDK.After
You can access the storage by external tool or built-in tool in VS under View -> Cloud Explorer -> (Local).
