Together with some colleagues, I’ve spent this week studying serverless architecture, with focus on Azure Functions. And I can tell you – it was real fun!!

I wrote this post together with a colleague for my current company’s blog, and I publish it here too – with some slight modifications.

Although it has nothing to do with my basic concept of my blog, I’d like to point out an analogy that occured to me in our recent travel. One of my hobbies, which I neglect a lot these days, is photography. But the last week, which we spent in…
