Abstract
There are many different facets and considerations for developing on Microsoft Azure. This chapter discusses why and how building for the cloud differs from on-premises development. It introduces you to different terms that will be explored further as we explain their blades in the Azure portal, including Function as a Service (FaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Then we will explain why you need a comprehensive strategy for debugging and profiling in Azure, as well as the basics of what that entails. Throughout the chapters, we will use a fictitious company to illustrate different scenarios, and in this chapter, we will introduce the company, its business objectives, and how we will use Azure to achieve them. The goal of this chapter is to provide a high-level view of development on Azure, as well as to set the tone of the book, in explaining an introductory perspective on debugging and profiling.
