What is this?

HTTP Triggered APIs covers serverless and messaging patterns on Azure.

Why should you care?

Async work and integrations should not block your API thread.

See it live — copy this example

Use an Azure lab/free subscription. Prefer Azure CLI or Portal. Delete idle App Service plans, SQL DBs, and AKS clusters when practice is done.

# HTTP Triggered APIs
# Functions / Service Bus / Event Grid — sketch the trigger and the handler

What happened?

  • Name the trigger, the message contract, and the failure/retry behavior.
  • Follow the steps below — typing the code yourself is the fastest way to learn.

Practice next

  1. Run the CLI/portal steps in a lab subscription.
  2. Write the resource names you used.
  3. Note estimated monthly cost for the SKU.
  4. Repeat in a second region (conceptually).
  5. Add the resource to a simple architecture diagram.

Remember

You can explain HTTP Triggered APIs simply. You practiced one Azure action. You know a cost or security risk.

Your team applies http triggered apis while building on Azure.

Outcome: A concrete portal/CLI next step exists.

The pipeline for Project B runs dotnet restore, pulling the latest version of CommonLibrary automatically. Example (.csproj): <ItemGroup> Follow: <PackageReference Include="CommonLibrary" Version="1.0.*" /> </ItemGroup> This ensures your projects always use the latest tested internal libraries without manually copying DLLs or managing shared folders. Real-life scenario: Your “Payments” API and “Orders” API both rely on a shared Company.Security library. That library is published to Azure Artifacts — so both APIs can pull the latest version directly through the pipeline. ✅ Pro Tip: Azure Artifacts + Azure Pipelines = a complete internal ecosystem for: ● Versioned, private NuGet packages ● Automatic publishing on build success ● Secure package consumption (integrated with Azure AD) ● Easy dependency management between microservices Monitoring & Reporting 1⃣ How do you view and analyze pipeline run logs?
Answer: In Azure DevOps, every pipeline run automatically generates detailed logs for each step and task. To view logs: What interviewers expect A clear definition tied to DevOps in Azure DevOps projects Trade-offs (perf…

What are pipeline templates and how are they used? Answer: Templates let you reuse pipeline steps across projects — great for standardization. Example: You can create a reusable file: 📄 .azure-pipelines/build-template.yml steps: - script: dotnet restore - script: dotnet build Then in your main pipeline: extends: template: .azure-pipelines/build-template.yml This keeps your YAML DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) and consistent.
