Content Request: How to manage Connection Strings and Bindings with Azure Functions and CosmosDB about azure-functions-university HOT 7 CLOSED

I would suggest

• Securing your Connection Strings (best practices)

I mean: azure key vault and others (I don't know if exist others ways).

And

• How to reuse connections between functions

I suggest this because once I wrote a function that were connected to MongoDB and I were not reusing the connection between functions and I had a lot of problems because of that.... no body teach this kind of problems :(

Hi @gmartinezsan , thank you for this content request! CosmosDB is high on our list so feel free to start with preparing content using the proposed lesson structure right away! You can start by adding a new cosmosdb.md file in the lessons folder and demo source code in a new AzureFunctions.CosmosDB project in src.

I'm thinking of the following exercises as a lesson which covers nearly everything concerning Azure Functions & CosmosDB:

• Running the CosmosDB Emulator
• Using the CosmosDB Output Binding
• Using the CosmosDB Input Binding
• Creating a CosmosDB Trigger function.
• Using KeyVault for the connectionstring
• Reusing the CosmosDB connection (dependency injection)
• Deployment to Azure

Please let me know how much of this you want to take on. Both @madebygps and myself are happy to help out.

hi @SaulBurgos thanks a lot for the suggestions. I definitely agree with the best practices you mentioned. And will look at the reuse of connections.

Great @gmartinezsan! Let's aim for a first PR review at mid December so we have some time to fine-tune.
