Azure Functions vs. Cloudflare Durable Objects

They're great to embed logic and code in a medium-small, cloud-native application, but they can become quite limiting for complex, enterprise applications.

• They natively integrate with many triggers from other Azure services, like Blob Storage or Event Grid, which is super handy when creating cloud-native applications on Azure (data wrangling pipelines, business process automation, data ingestion for IoT, ...)
• They natively support many common languages and frameworks, which makes them easily approachable by teams with a diverse background
• They are cheap solutions for low-usage or "seasonal" applications that exhibits a recurring usage/non-usage pattern (batch processing, montly reports, ...)

• Timing for creating new instances.

Sometimes the Azure dashboard can feel confusing at first, and it can be hard to understand where things are. But overall, it has good integrations, is trustworthy for running there without disruptions, is well-documented and easy to implement, especially for newbies on the team, and has nice automated deployment features.

Azure is the company's platform of choice, so it was already the pattern I found when I started working with it. However, I find it better than Google Cloud Functions because it has better documentation, provides templates that are easy to use and deploy, and is better structured, consolidating various services into a single application.
