Learn Azure Serverless Functions in a Weekend - Azure Functions to Perform Schedule Database Cleanup

The video tutorial explores Azure Function database interaction, focusing on scheduled database cleanup using a timer-triggered function. It guides through creating, testing, and deploying functions in Visual Studio Code and Azure. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of connection strings and validates the functions' performance in Azure. It concludes with a recommendation to use Azure portal for creating function apps.

Why is an HTTP trigger not suitable for scheduled database cleanup in Azure Functions?

• It does not support database operations.

• It is not supported in Visual Studio Code.

• It is too complex to implement.

• It requires manual triggering.

What is the purpose of using a Timer trigger in Azure Functions?

• To manually trigger functions.

• To schedule and automate tasks.

• To handle HTTP requests.

• To create complex workflows.

What is the first step in creating a Timer-triggered function in Visual Studio Code?

• Testing the function locally.

• Creating a new function in the existing project.

• Writing the DELETE query.

• Setting up a storage account.

What is required for the Timer-triggered function to connect to the database?

• A local server setup.

• An HTTP endpoint.

• A storage account connection string.

• A valid API key.

How can you validate that the Timer-triggered function is working correctly?

• By running a test HTTP request.

• By reviewing the function's log messages.

• By manually inspecting the database.

• By checking the Azure portal logs.

What is the recommended method for creating a new Function App for deployment?

• Using Visual Studio Code.

• Using the Azure portal.

• Using a third-party tool.

• Using a local server.

What must be uploaded to the Azure Function App to ensure it connects to the correct database?

• The API documentation.

• The deployment script.

• The local settings file.

• The function's source code.
