Roadmap for #30Days
Welcome!​
This is a tentative roadmap for #30DaysOfServerless, a daily content series planned for the upcoming Serverless September project. It's a month-long celebration of Serverless On Azure with a curated journey that takes you from understanding core technologies to developing solutions for end-to-end scenarios - organized into 4 stages:
- Go Serverless with Azure Functions
- Deploy Microservices with Azure Container Apps
- Simplify Integrations with Azure Event Grid & Logic Apps
- Build End-to-End Solutions using familiar Dev Tools & Languages
Starting from Week 2 (Sep 8), we'll be publishing blog posts in batches rather than on a daily basis, so you can read a series of related posts together. Don't want to miss updates? Just subscribe to the feed
Here are some actions you can take in the meantime:
- Visit our Discussions board and leave us feedback or requests under the #30DaysOfServerless topic!
- Register for the Cloud Skills Challenge.
- Check out the official Serverless September collection of learning modules and don't forget to

Azure Container Apps​
Welcome to Week 2. You've learnt how to build event-driven serverless backends using Azure Functions. But how can you orchestrate and scale more complex solutions? The answer lies in microservice architectures and containerized apps. This week we explore Azure Container Apps (ACA) - and learn how the Distributed Application Runtime (Dapr) technology can work alongside ACA to unlock richer capabilities and simplify developer experience.
