Azure Functions

Azure Functions is a service designed to enable users to develop more efficiently with an event-driven, serverless compute platform that helps solve complex orchestration problems. The Azure Functions end-to-end development experience enables use of familiar languages to build and debug locally without additional setup, deploy and operate at scale in the cloud, and integrate services using triggers and bindings.

A Serverless Development Experience

• Provides a complete serverless application development experience—from building and debugging locally to deploying and monitoring in the cloud.
• The Functions extensions on Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code can be used for faster and more efficient development on a local machine, fully integrated with the Azure platform.
• Users can set up continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) with Azure Pipelines.
• Provides intelligent and proactive insights about the performance of serverless applications in production from Azure Monitor.
