This example shows how to use Azure Functions with the Node.js DataStax Cassandra Driver to set up a basic REST API for a Cassandra database via HTTP Endpoints. The Serverless Framework is used to facilitate the setup and deployment of the functions.Contributor(s): Chris SplinterObjectivesHow to use the DataStax Cassandra Driver with Azure FunctionsHow to use the Serverless Framework to set up Azure Functions HTTP EndpointsProject Layoutindex.js: Contains the DataStax Cassandra Driver connection and queries as well as the Azure Functions entry points.serverless.yml: Used by serverless to deploy and configure the Azure artifacts needed to run the function.package.json: Defines the dependencies and descriptive example metadata.How it worksThe Serverless Framework handles the packaging and deployment of the functions to the Azure resources. Once the functions are deployed, the DataStax Cassandra Driver establishes the connection to the database and returns the results to the Azure HTTP Endpoints which can be accessed to interact with the database.Setup & RunningSetupBefore running with this example, head over to the SETUP-README for instructions on how tolaunch an instance in Azureinstall and start an Apache Cassandra databasesetup your local development environment for Node.js and serverlessOnce the above is completed, you will have all of the needed pieces in place to run this example.Clone this repositorygit clone https://github.com/DataStax-Examples/azure-functions-nodejs.gitGo to the directorycd azure-functions-nodejsInstall the DataStax Cassandra Drivernpm install cassandra-driverInstall serverless-azure-functions pluginnpm install serverless-azure-functionsConfigure serverless.yml with your Contact Points ( public IP of Azure instance ), and Local Data Center ( likely datacenter1 )RunningFrom the project directory, deploy your function.
