What is Azure Functions?
Azure Functions is a versatile event-driven compute service that empowers developers to execute code in response to a diverse range of triggers, seamlessly integrating with various Azure and third-party services, as well as on-premises systems. This serverless platform extends the capabilities of the Azure application ecosystem, enabling developers to build scalable and efficient applications that can react to events in real-time. With Azure Functions, developers can focus on writing the core logic of their applications, while the underlying infrastructure automatically manages the provisioning, scaling, and execution of the code
Highlights
- Event-driven execution: Trigger code execution based on events occurring in Azure, third-party services, or on-premises systems
- Compute-on-demand: Automatically scale resources to match the workload, eliminating the need for manual provisioning
- Versatile integration: Connect to a wide range of Azure and third-party services, as well as on-premises systems
- Serverless architecture: Offload infrastructure management tasks, allowing developers to focus on application logic
- Task processing: Utilize Azure Functions for a variety of use cases, including serverless webhooks, APIs, and event-driven data processing
