Using CircleCI to test and deploy Python serverless functions on Microsoft Azure
Serverless computing simplifies app development by abstracting away server management. Azure Functions provides a robust platform for event-driven, on-demand code execution. In this tutorial, we’ll create and deploy a Python-based Azure Function—one that parses incoming JSON—using CircleCI. For a more granular and enable programmatic access to Azure resources, we’ll use service principal for secure authentication and the Azure CLI orb to streamline our CI/CD pipeline.
