1. Long Running Umbraco Tasks With Azure Service Bus and functions

2. Why? We want our webserver to serve up pages fast
Certain things don’t need to happen right away
Separation of “webby” and non “webby”

3. Azure Service Bus Receives a “message” (JSON)
Waits for something to receive and process
Durable – hold messages if subscribers are offline
Multiple subscribers
Not like a London Bus

4. Azure Functions “Serverless” .NET – or many other languages
Various triggers: Timer, Webhook, Service Bus etc
Runs in Azure App service
Can scale to demand

5. Real World usages Scgeduled Tasks Unversioning Daily Notifications
Migrations
Third party API calls (members)

6. The Demo An Umbraco content item is published
Placed on the Service Bus as JSON
A function subscribes and sends
Simple case

7. Azure Setup Create a service bus Grab the connection string
Create a functions app

9. Questions? If we have time?

10. Thanks
