It enables developers to build apps using the programming languages and tools of their choice, with an end-to-end developer experience that spans from building and debugging locally, to deploying and monitoring in the cloud. Today, we&#8217;re pleased to announce the general availability of Java support in Azure Functions 2.0!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ever since we first released the preview of Java in Functions, an increasing number of users and organizations have leveraged the capability to build and host their serverless applications in Azure. With the help of input from a great community of preview users, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve steadily improved the feature by adding support for easier authoring experiences and a more robust hosting platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-s-in-the-release\">What&#8217;s in the release?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this release, Functions is now ready to support Java workloads in production, backed by our <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/support\/legal\/sla\/functions\/v1_1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">99.95 percent SLA<\/a> for both the Consumption Plan and the App Service Plan. You can build your functions based on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azul.com\/downloads\/azure-only\/zulu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Java SE 8 LTS<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/introducing-azure-functions-2-0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Functions 2.0 runtime<\/a>, while being able to use the platform (Windows, Mac, or Linux) and tools of your choice. This enables a wide range of options for you to build and run your Java apps in the <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/global-infrastructure\/regions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">50+ regions offered by Azure<\/a> around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"powerful-programming-model\">Powerful programming model<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using the unique programming model of Functions, you can easily connect them to cloud scale data sources such as Azure Storage and Cosmos DB, and messaging services such as Service Bus, Event Hubs, and Event Grid. <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/azure-functions\/functions-triggers-bindings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Triggers and bindings<\/a> enable you to invoke your function based on an HTTP request, or schedule an event in one of the aforementioned source systems. You can also retrieve information or write back to these sources as part of the function logic, without having to worry about the underlying Java SDK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/ab01f364-bc34-4053-916d-00cc515e7bcf.webp\" alt=\"Development and monitoring in Azure Functions\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" title=\"Development and monitoring in Azure Functions\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"easier-development-and-monitoring\">Easier development and monitoring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using the <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/Microsoft\/azure-maven-plugins\/tree\/develop\/azure-functions-maven-plugin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Azure Functions Maven plugin<\/a> you can create, build, and deploy your Functions from any Maven-enabled project. The open source Functions 2.0 runtime will enable you to run and debug your functions locally on any platform. For a complete DevOps experience, you can leverage the integration with Azure Pipelines or setup a Jenkins Pipeline to build your Java project and deploy it to Azure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/bebc23aa-6470-4b71-a314-bed795a461a6.gif\" alt=\"Setup a Jenkins Pipeline to build your Java project and deploy it to Azure\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" title=\"Setup a Jenkins Pipeline to build your Java project and deploy it to Azure\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is even more exciting is that popular IDEs and editors such as <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/azure-functions\/functions-create-maven-eclipse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eclipse<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/azure-functions\/functions-create-maven-intellij\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IntelliJ<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/code.visualstudio.com\/docs\/java\/java-azurefunctions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Visual Studio Code<\/a> can be used to develop and debug your Java Functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image has-custom-border\"><a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/f11c439d-02df-4b39-abfe-7960c37cafe0.gif\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/f11c439d-02df-4b39-abfe-7960c37cafe0.gif\" alt=\"Debug Functions in Visual Studio Code\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" title=\"Debug Functions in Visual Studio Code\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the added benefits of building your serverless applications with Functions is that you automatically get access to rich monitoring experiences thanks to the Azure Application Insights integration for telemetry, querying, and <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/application-insights\/app-insights-app-map\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">distributed tracing<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"enterprise-grade-serverless\">Enterprise-grade serverless<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Azure Functions also makes it easy to build apps that meet your enterprise requirements. Leverage features like <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/azure\/app-service\/app-service-authentication-overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App Service Authentication \/ Authorization<\/a> to restrict access to your app, and protect secrets using <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/azure\/app-service\/app-service-managed-service-identity?toc=%2fazure%2fazure-functions%2ftoc.json\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">managed identities<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/services\/key-vault\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Azure Key Vault<\/a>. Azure boasts a wide range of compliance certifications, making it a fantastic host for your serverless Java functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"next-steps\">Next steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To get started, take a closer look at how the experience of building event-driven Java apps with Azure Functions looks like following the links below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/Jbfb7e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Build your first serverless Java Function<\/a> using the instructions our tutorial.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Find the complete Azure Functions <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/azure\/azure-functions\/functions-java-reference\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Java developer reference<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Follow upcoming features and design discussion on our <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/Azure\/azure-functions-java-worker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GitHub repository<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Learn about all the great things you can do with <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/java\/azure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Java on Azure<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With so much being released now and coming soon, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d sincerely love to hear your feedback.
