Learn Azure Serverless Functions in a Weekend - Transaction Management System - Requirement and Architecture

The video tutorial covers the process of designing a decoupled application architecture to meet a business requirement for Techschool. It emphasizes the importance of immediate transaction notifications and storing transaction details in a database. The proposed solution involves using Azure services, including an HTTP API and Service Bus, to handle transaction status updates efficiently. The tutorial encourages a thoughtful approach to problem-solving and highlights the benefits of a decoupled system.

What is the primary focus when designing a system according to the course introduction?

• Solving the problem quickly

• Minimizing costs

• Designing a decoupled architecture

• Using the latest technology

What is the main requirement for Techschool's transaction process?

• Immediate notification of transaction status

• Batch processing of emails

• Manual transaction verification

• Delayed transaction processing

Why is it important to record transaction outcomes in Techschool's database?

• To analyze customer behavior

• To store details of successful and failed transactions

• To improve website performance

• To reduce server load

What is the role of Azure Service Bus in the proposed architecture?

• To decouple the architecture

• To handle transaction failures

• To process payments

• To store customer data

How does the proposed architecture ensure reliability in processing transactions?

• By using multiple servers

• By using a single point of failure

• By storing messages in Azure Service Bus until processed

• By sending notifications in batches

What happens if the Azure function is unable to process the entire load?

• Messages are lost

• Messages are stored in Azure Service Bus

• Transactions are canceled

• Emails are sent in batches

What is the benefit of using an HTTP API in the proposed architecture?

• It allows for manual transaction processing

• It provides a secure way to send transaction status

• It reduces the need for a database

• It simplifies the user interface
