Event-Driven Architectures at Scale: Real-World Patterns with Azure Functions Flex Consumption
Discover how to architect and scale modern event-driven solutions using Azure Functions and the new Flex Consumption plan. In this session, we’ll explore real-world scenarios—ranging from IoT-driven inventory management and automated workflows to AI-powered document processing and dynamic pricing—demonstrating how serverless patterns can transform retail and beyond.
You’ll learn:
* How to design resilient, scalable event-driven systems with Azure Functions, Event Hubs, Service Bus, and Cosmos DB.
* Best practices for leveraging Flex Consumption’s advanced scaling, cold start improvements, and cost efficiency.
* Techniques for handling high-throughput data ingestion, orchestrating complex workflows, and integrating AI/ML for real-time insights.
* Security, observability, and infrastructure-as-code strategies for production-grade serverless apps.
Whether you’re modernizing legacy integrations or building greenfield cloud-native solutions, this session will equip you with actionable patterns and lessons learned from building smart, scalable, and reliable event-driven applications on Azure.
