When building HTTP APIs, it can be tempting to synchronously run long-running tasks in a request handler. This approach can lead to slow responses, timeouts, and resource exhaustion. If a request times out or a connection is dropped, the client won't know if the operation completed or not. For CPU-bound tasks, this approach can also bog down the server, making it unresponsive to other requests.  In this post, we'll look at how to build an asynchronous HTTP API with Azure Container Apps.

We're excited to announce the public preview of Azure Container Apps dynamic sessions. Azure Container Apps is a serverless platform that enables you to run containerized workloads without managing the underlying infrastructure. Dynamic sessions adds the ability to execute untrusted code in secure, sandboxed environments at scale. When you build applications that run code or commands from untrusted sources, you must ensure that the code runs in its own isolated environment.

Azure Container Apps is a fully managed serverless container service that enables you to deploy and run containerized applications without having to manage the infrastructure.  By default, HTTP apps in Azure Container Apps are accessible via a public URL that is unique to the app. However, you can create a container app to use a reverse proxy like NGINX to control how traffic is routed to multiple apps based on the path or hostname.

Dear EditorI prescribed isotretinoin for acne patients for 35 years as senior dermatologist at the Hammersmith Hospital. I have not encountered any severe side effects in my patients but I strictly followed the guidelines of the British Association of Dermatologists (BAD) and NICE and discussed all potential side effects. I am aware that many consultants use this drug off licence in mild to moderate acne and it is thus grossly over prescribed.
