Storage and Event driven architecture

Master the core storage services in Microsoft Azure and learn how to build secure, scalable, and event-driven solutions — all aligned to the AZ-204: Developing Solutions for Microsoft Azure certification.

This hands-on course introduces you to the full range of Azure storage options, including Blob Storage, Table Storage, Queues, and Cosmos DB. You’ll begin by understanding when to use each service based on performance, structure, and scalability needs. Then, you’ll configure storage accounts, manage access tiers, and perform CRUD operations using SDKs and REST APIs.

As the course progresses, you’ll explore real-world architectures — from setting up global distribution in Cosmos DB to triggering serverless workflows using the Change Feed and Azure Functions. You’ll also work with Table Storage and Storage Queues, comparing their use cases with Cosmos DB to help you make informed design decisions. The course concludes with a dive into event-driven systems using Azure Event Grid.

Throughout the course, you’ll apply best practices in security, lifecycle management, and scalability, gaining the practical experience needed to build robust cloud applications on Azure.
