There is perhaps another way to do this, but I wasn’t able to find any documentation about configuring an Azure App Service or Azure Function here. After I created the APIM and API hosted on App Service I received a HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found when I tried testing it from the APIM portal. Figure 1, […]

The expected latency when downloading anything from a server to a client should increase as the size of the file increases. Simply, the bigger the file the longer it takes to download. There is a common step when writing an API that returns a JSON formatted file, which is the deserialization of the data content […]

This can happen if you are trying to run an Azure Function from package, which is discussed here. Real fast, the way you get this to happen is by making a deployment, then after the deployment is […]

When I first started coding and building IT solutions, I can’t say the idea of decoupling existed at all. When I created an order entry system using Active Server Pages (ASP) and […]
Read More →I have this Azure Function that is integrated with an Azure Virtual Network, using Regional integration as shown in Figure 1. Where Regional VNET Integration is ARM based and the resources are located in the same Azure region. The other type of VNET integration is uses the classic integration method or if you need to […]
Read More →This would apply to Azure App Services too. This is an interesting feature. To me it resembles or provides the ability to force tunnel. The implementations of forced tunneling I have seen have typically been configured using route tables. Where the route table is a matrix of IP addresses (see Figure 6) that instructs TCP […]
