Azure Functions

Azure Functions is Microsoft's serverless computing service that lets you execute event-driven code without managing infrastructure. Focus on writing business logic in your preferred programming language while Azure handles scaling, deployment, and maintenance automatically.

Key capabilities include:

• Multi-language support - Develop in C#, JavaScript, Python, Java, PowerShell, F#, and more
• Event-driven architecture - Connect functions to Azure services using triggers and bindings
• Automatic scaling - Built-in serverless elasticity scales from zero to enterprise-grade performance
• Flexible hosting plans - Choose from Consumption, Premium, App Service, or Container Apps plans

Popular use cases:

• Intelligent apps - Build RAG applications, chatbots, and AI-powered solutions
• Real-time processing - Handle files, data streams, and events in near real-time
• Workflow orchestration - Create complex workflows with Durable Functions and fault tolerance

The platform integrates seamlessly with Azure's data and AI services, providing built-in DevOps tools for the complete development lifecycle. Start with a free monthly grant of 1,000,000 executions and scale based on your needs with pay-per-use pricing.
