Done in Python. Located near Vancouver, BC.
Ran into a challenge setting up a free tier function using Python. "x64 not supported error" Changed to Basic tier and it worked.

Note: No input sanitizing yet. Will crash on non-numeric input, for example. :-|

For this challenge I decided to use JavaScript as I find it more efficient in terms of quantity of code for small challenges like this. When triggering the Azure Function, there are two possible outputs :

• 202 status with an object in which ingredients and times are split
• 400 status with an error message when the weight isn't specified or is invalid

The language used is TypeScript. The classification works for ladoo, doughnuts and cake (when I say cake, I mean Apple pie :-))

I deviated a bit from the original task to provision the image via file upload, but this makes the call in Azure a bit cumbersome, which is the reason why this solution focuses on the URL-based provisioning of pictures. However, the code contains the relevant calls to read a file form the files system and the call of the Custom Vision API.

You cannot run the function locally, as the keys for the Custom Vision API are not pushed to this repository. They are stored in local.settings.json and the App Settings. The API is provisioned on Azure at the endpoint https://seasonofserverlessweek2.azurewebsites.net/api/LovelyLadoosClassifier (No authentication needed - imho better tradeoff than publishing the keys and internal information of the custom vision API).

• The calculation of the serving is based on the recipe provided in the challenge description. The base unit is 453 grams of ground lamb which delivers 4 servings
• The length of the kebab is calculated based on the following assumptions:
  • The average density of ground lamb is 0.96 g/ml (comparable to beef). With this information we can calculate the volume of the lamb (we neglect the volume added by the other ingredients)
  • We assume the basic geometric form of kebab is a cylinder so the volume is V = r² * h * 𝜋. Consequently we can calculate the length as a variable of the radius.
  • We calculate the length of the kebab in cm for 3 possible diameters (3, 6 and 9 cm)
• The evaluation of the recipe is also based on the values given here

You can run the functions locally via npm run start. Several HTTP calls are available in the file requests.http (required: REST Client extension in VSCode)

This solution used Food based Custom Vision with the training model based on:

• Ladoo
• Doughnut Holes
• Gulab Jamen
• Truffles

The model still struggles a lot with Apples, in particular Apples that are piled in a similar way to Ladoo images, so more training is needed.

The website is hosted on a Static Website using a storage account, and the function just returns a JSON response so you can also navigate directly to the Azure Function.

I used this article from Microsoft to get started with Python and Tensorflow.

I didn't really document much of my process, but some of my training results were tweeted about.

This was a really fun and challenging problem but lots of fun to work on!

Typescript. No C# is sight.

Why not take the opportunity to use a different language from normal. So for this challenge, I went for writing the Azure Function in Typescript. There is then the UI in Angular, and as before, hosted using a Static Web Site.

Try it out at - https://www.thelongestkebab.cloud

I think I've committed to buying domain names now 🤣

The length calculation came from reading Turkish Ground Lamb Kebabs (Adana Kebabs). Taking into account the amount of meat in that recipe, the number it servers, and the length of the skewers suggested, it came to about 156g equalled 25.4cm. It may only be an estimation, but these challenges are all about having fun.

The model has been trained to detect only ladoos and doughnut holes.

I couldn't implement direct image upload. You'll have to provide an image url instead. If you don't have a trained model already set-up, you can use the Function I deployed (based directly on the code of my repo through ci/cd): https://seasonsofserverless.azurewebsites.net/api/LovelyLadoos

You can make HTTP calls to the function either by using online tools such as https://reqbin.com/, by using softwtare such as Postman or even via your web browser.

URL format: https://seasonsofserverless.azurewebsites.net/api/LovelyLadoos?url=your-url
With "your-url" being replaced by the url of your image. Example:

Hi,

Thanks for the seasons of serverless. Love the azure functions and hence excited to participate in this.

Suggestion: Is it possible for you to put the dates on which the challenges will be posted ahead of time - May be a bulleted list in the readme. That suffices. That lets me put a reminder for myself to look into this repo on that particular date to check the new challenge?

Thoughts ?

Thanks.

Hi team!

I've looked at the challenge for week 4 and although the description in markdown is ok, the excel file that is linked is a bit unclear. I can imagine we'll lose some engagement due to this unclarity. Perhaps the text in the markdown can be changed to describe that the linked excel file is just an example how people deal with planning for a big BBQ and not use it as the basis for their solution. I'll submit a PR with an alternative text, OK?

There is a Dutch snack (bitterballen) which look very similar. I added that as a second class. Added golfballs as a third class 😂. Testing with (dark) brown ladoos is problematic due to the similarity.

Solved in pwsh.

As I have been doing some work in Azure functions before I decided to take the chance to brush up on other skills at the same time, so included is also scripts for deploying the Azure function environment using PowerShell and ARM templates.

As a European I also added a query flag 'realmeasurements' for outputting proper measurements (decilitres and litres) instead of cups and gallons.

If no query input is given it defaults to 10Lbs.

Example 1

https://<website>.azurewebsites.net/api/TurkeyTrigger?weight=12&realmeasurements=true

output:

5.44 Kilos of bird
1.4 DL Salt 
30.0 Litres Water
3.7 DL Brown sugar 
3 Shallots
5 Cloves of garlic
1.6 tablespoons of Whole peppercorns
1.6 tablespoons of Dried juniper berries
1.6 tablespoons of Fresh rosemary
0.7 tablespoons of Thyme
Brine for 29 hours and 0 minutes.  
Roast for 3 hours and 0 minutes.

Example 2

https://<website>.azurewebsites.net/api/TurkeyTrigger?weight=16

output:

16 Lbs of bird
0.8 Cups Salt 
10.6 Gallons Water
2.1 Cups Brown sugar 
4 Shallots
7 Cloves of garlic
2.1 tablespoons of Whole peppercorns
2.1 tablespoons of Dried juniper berries

This submission is done using Python 3.8. It is deployed as an Azure Function using the Serverless Framework. This is a dead simple solution, done in a rush (no tests, CI, etc). The recipe returned is in JSON.

Challenges faced: no documentation on Serverless Framework Azure provider regarding using already-existing Azure resource group. Found it in the code. I also could not find a way to remove the sls-neur-dev- prefix added by Serverless Framework (but didn't take that much time to find a solution to be honest)

Cool stuff: appreciate the mimetype in the azure-functions SDK' HttpResponse! Usually I have to define the Content-Type header manually when working with other FaaS providers.

First I've uploaded a bunch of Ladoos images, pie images, bitterbal images and Donut images to https://www.customvision.ai/ and a Lovely Ladoos project I've created there using this guide. There is always the option to create and use your own models, but since this is serverless the most easy option is the best I Think.

Then I've Published a ASP.NET core MVC webapp to Azure...I'm sure there was an easier way, but I've challenged myself to solve al challenges using C#.

So basicly the logic for uploading a File or sending an Url to the API of CustomVision is in the FileUploadController.cs I know the name could be improved upon.

Through the index page we get variables, files and url, we check for nuls, create a httpRequestMessage, perform the request using a HttpClient and display the response through a razor page...

I've tried to keep the naming of the methods in the file pretty clear to make it understandable.

To build this WebApp open the Solution *.sln in Visual Studio 2019. Keep in mind you will need to set secrets ass follows:

right click on the LovelyLadoos.WebApp and choose: Manage User Secrets.
use the following JSON:

{
  "Api": {
    "UrlUrl": <Your Prediction API Image URL>,
    "ImageUrl":<Your Prediction API Image File>,
    "PredictionKey": <Your PredictionKey>
  } 
}

All in all this was a nice little project.

The Result of my WebApp is published in Azure WebApps and running serverless there:

I am not quite sure if I understood what the Excel should have told me :-)
In addition it is quite some time ago that I worked on mathematical optimization problems (a loonnngggg time ago)
So I tried to tackle the optimization problem by a linear optimization approach that made some modelling as well as some assumptions necessary to apply that method. For the details I refer to the the description in my repository.

The function is implemented in TypeScript. It provides a GET endpoint. Based on the input handed over via the request body the recipe is determined and returned to the caller. The units need not be lb, they will be converted in the API.
In addition metadata endpoints are provided for the valid values of the recipe type (currently only "turkey") and the available units.
Internally the main mechanics for determining the recipe are handled via a class factory allow to hook in other recipes afterwards

I based the calculation on the recipe linked in the challenge. I'm estimating that with the original recipe you can make 4 kebabs of +/- 12cm each, so 48 cm (0.48m) in total.

or open the link in your browser...https://longestkebab.azurewebsites.net/api/CalculateLongestKebab/?kilosGroundLamb=200

How to run this

You can run this using either Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code or your C# IDE of choice...

Clone the repo, open the *.sln file and choose build. Then you can run it...(F5 in Visual Studio). If you want, you can also publish it to an Azure Function App, wich I did, check the link above.

I reckoned that you can make 8 thin kebabs of 20 cm each using 1 kilo of ground lamb. That should provide 8 poeple with a portion.

Hi, I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving 🦃.

My solution in PowerShell is published at:
https://github.com/Manbearpiet/seasonofserverless

I've published it as a function at:
https://deliciousturkeyrecipeshoppinglist.azurewebsites.net/api/DeliciousTurkeyRecipe?

The function uses a HTTP query string with the keyword Weight (in pounds):
https://deliciousturkeyrecipeshoppinglist.azurewebsites.net/api/DeliciousTurkeyRecipe?Weight=5

It also works with PowerShell:

$param = @{
URI = 'https://deliciousturkeyrecipeshoppinglist.azurewebsites.net/api/DeliciousTurkeyRecipe'
Body = (@{Weight=5}| ConvertTo-Json)
Method = 'Post'
ContentType = 'application/json'
}
Invoke-Restmethod @param

I wanted to create something with more flair, as a nice output (better timeduration output), ASCII art and prettier output.
But I got sucked in, in coding the same solution in C# (my first C# lines ever :-)). I couldn't finish that nor make this a bit more shiney. But still i'm happy with my first function ever yeey!

The function parses the parameterstring or query string to an integer and multiplies the parsed integer in a hashtable with the ingredients as a weight factor and outputs a JSON body with the multiplied values.

The challenge was mostly finding all information and then making the solution as flexible as possible!
It can calculate from the meat weight, the amount of people that needs to be fed or the total length needed.

And my Ascii art extually expands if the kebab gets longer! :-D

I've used C#, added a Recipe class where I do the calculations and formatting. I'm using a specific function route that contains the weight of the turkey. It also checks if the weight is positive. If not, it returns a BadRequest message (HTTP 400).

A little late, but this solution utilizes an Azure Function written in Python to pull the recipe from an Azure SQL database (serverless tier). I loved 25 days of serverless last year, but it was brutal and am very glad this is week by week. 🎉
Planning to post solutions on the Azure SQL dev blog each week by the end of the week.

• language used: python3.8
• location: Bangalore, India

I used Azure Functions Core Tools to create the "Http Trigger" template and then edit the template to modify the logics to get Turkey brine. And also used Azure CLI to deploy the Function App.

Python 3.8, Australia.

Demo link: https://turkey-maker.azurewebsites.net/api/turkey-maker?weight=12

Has basic error handling in that it prints "Pass the weight of your turkey in pounds in the query string or in the request body for your brine equation." if you specify a parameter that is not weight or if you specify a weight that is not a number.

Main Challenges Faced:

• Not knowing if it's okay to just round up ingredient weights because I've never cooked a turkey before. Please, no one make a turkey from this.
• Using Azure Functions with PyCharm, I ended up downloading VSCode to follow the quickstart guide

I originally tried to use linear programming to try and find the optimal amount of each food but I didn't have enough constraints so the program was just really keen about buying halloumi.

In the end I ended up defining an estimated amount people would eat, in this case 700g and then a percentage of what people would eat, for example 25% fillet, 5% potato, 5% mushroom etc. based on this I could determine how much each person would want to eat and the cost per person. From there I could then divide my budget by that cost per person and work out how much I would spend!

I spent a fair bit of time working on the linear programming so when that didn't work I ended up just focusing on providing the answer we originally wanted i.e how many people can we serve based on our budget but also added in the cost per person, and amount of change left.

It also provides you with a helpful shopping list so you buy the 🎇 perfect 🎇 amount! I might use this to work out what I need to buy for Christmas day 🤔

C# (Azure Function) and Angular.

The solution contains an Angular frontend to allow users to input the details of their barbecue, and an Azure Function as the backend to calculate the costs and how the spend compares to the budget.

The BBQ organiser can input the following details:

• Their name
• Number of guests
• Budget
• The items for their barbeque, cost per kg/pcs and the quantity

Some example prices have been pre-filled.

Using the spreadsheet as a guide and a bit of artistic license, the Azure Function will then calculate the following:

• Total cost of the items
• Cost per guest
• Over or under budget

These details are then displayed back to the user, along with the list of items they need.

If the cost of a barbecue item is £0 or above and the quality is greater than 0, then the item will be included in the costs.
