What is Azure Functions?

Event-driven, serverless compute platform that allows developers to run event-triggered code without having to explicitly provision or manage infrastructure
Helps developers focus on writing the codes without having to take care of scaling and managing the underlying infrastructure
Stateless, meaning they do not maintain state between executions, which makes them well-suited for handling individual tasks or responding to specific events

Key Features

Pay-per-use pricing model (very cheap)
Bring your own dependencies (NPM or NuGet)
Integrated security
Simplified integration
Flexible development
Open-source

How Function Apps work
Trigger(action) -> (Input) -> Code -> Output

Triggers and bindings

Blob storage, Cosmos DB, Event Grid, Event Hubs, HTTP & webhooks, MS Graph Excel tables, Mobile Apps, Table storage., etc.

Host Configuration

host.json metadata files contains global configuration options that affect all functions for the function app.
