by Juarez Junior

Introduction

This blog post will explore the development of serverless applications with Azure Functions and the Oracle Database Service for Azure (ODSA).

It complements the series on developing Azure applications with ODSA, which includes the previous blog posts listed below.

• ODSA for Java Developers (Part 1) — Introduction to Oracle Database Service for Azure
• ODSA for Java Developers (Part 2) — Connecting to Oracle ADB from a Spring Boot 3.0 App with Spring Data JPA on Azure App Service
• ODSA for Java Developers (Part 3) — Connecting to Oracle ADB from a Spring Boot 3.0 App with Spring Data JPA on Azure Spring Apps
• ODSA for Java Developers (Part 4) — Connecting to Oracle ADB from a Spring Boot 3.0 App with Spring Data JPA on Azure Container Apps

Note that this guide is not supposed to be an exhaustive guide to Azure Functions. Its goal is to provide a quick tutorial on creating and deploying a FaaS application that connects to an Oracle Autonomous Database (ADB) instance provisioned by using the Oracle Database Service for Azure.
