Kotlin on Azure Functions

Course Overview

This practical training equips your team to build serverless applications with Kotlin on Azure Functions. Designed for intermediate Kotlin developers, this course teaches how to write, deploy, and manage event-driven functions in a cloud-native environment.

This training assumes prior Kotlin knowledge (completion of Kotlin Crash Course or Bite-Size Kotlin Training, or equivalent experience).

What Your Team Will Be Able to Do

After completing this training, your developers will:

Build and deploy Kotlin-based Azure Functions with proper dependency management — ready for production use.
Automate infrastructure provisioning using Terraform to deploy Azure Functions and supporting resources as code.
Connect functions to any Azure event source — HTTP triggers, Timer (cron) triggers, Service Bus, Blob Storage, and Event Hubs — to build event-driven architectures.
Integrate functions with downstream Azure services — sending messages to Service Bus, writing to Cosmos DB, and saving files to Blob Storage for complete serverless workflows.
Monitor and debug functions in production using Application Insights for structured error handling and logging.
