Build a Viva Connections card to display stock prices - Part 1: the backend
Recently, a customer engaged with my team because they have started to adopt Viva Connections in their company. They are happy about the experience, but they miss one piece of information that they consider important: the stock price of the company. It is quite a common use case, but Viva Connections doesn't provide this feature as built in. So, I decided: "Why not take advantage of this engagement and build something that can be useful to every customer who is adopting Viva Connections?". In this series of posts, we're going to build a Viva Connections card to display the price of any stock on the market, powered by a set of Azure services like Azure Functions and Azure Cache for Redis. This post will be focused on the backend, while in the next one we're going to build the actual card.Build a Viva Connections card to display stock prices - Part 2: the card
Welcome back to our series of posts about building a Viva Connections card to display the stock price of a company! In the previous post we built the backend which provides the data we need to display. The backend was built using an Azure Function, in companion with the Azure Cache for Redis service to improve performance and reduce the number of API calls against Alpha Vantage, the free service we have chosen to retrieve stock information. In this post, we're going to build the actual Viva Connections card, using the SharePoint AdaptiveCard extension model.Build a Viva Connections card to display stock prices - Part 3: deployment and security
