Beginning Azure Functions: Building Scalable and Serverless Apps (開始使用 Azure Functions：構建可擴展的無伺服器應用程式)

Start creating highly scalable apps and monitoring your Azure functions in production using Azure Functions 4.0. This book thoroughly explains durable functions for statefulness, covering the basics all the way through how to create bindings in durable functions. It's a deep dive into the Azure Functions serverless API and will guide you through the process of converting monolithic applications to use Azure Functions.
