A study into Azure cloud services and serverless applications.
My primary goal with this project was to get practical experience with some of Azure's most used services. I decided on using Cosmos DB for the database, and Azure Functions to create a serverless REST API. The frontend part of the app is hosted as a static website on Azure Blob Storage.
The idea behind the app is simple (and highly unoriginal) -- it is a tool for sharing plain text or source code to other people online. Chances are you might have already used pastebin.com or Ubuntu pastebin in the past. This app is similar -- you post a paste anonymously, and share the link to whoever you want to show the paste to.
The app is publicly available at pastebin-zandrexrc.azureedge.net.
Feel free to use the app liberally, but please, PLEASE, don't abuse it -- I'm using a Free Tier Cosmos DB account and cannot afford heavy traffic :)
Here is a list of the services that I have used in creating the app:
Here are some guides that helped me a lot in developing the app:
