Utilize the built-in serverless elasticity with enterprise grade networking, to instantaneously scale your app from zero to wherever your needs take you, and back.
Maximize the potential of the Azure data and AI platform to develop your serverless apps with built-in DevOps tools, streamlining the development, deployment, and management lifecycle.
See how customers are innovating with Azure Functions
“Azure, unlike other clouds, doesn’t force isolation. So, that matches with blockchain, where not everything has to be behind private networks. That works perfectly for us, because blockchain is public.”
David Lebee, Chief Software Architect, Gluwa
“When customers send us documents, we need to process them fast. Azure Functions and Azure Kubernetes Service both deliver great scalability, enabling us to process many documents in parallel to keep our customers happy—without paying for spare capacity when we don’t need it.”
Vinícius Oliveira, Research and Development Lead, Mr. Turing
By moving to a service-oriented architecture based on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Azure Functions, BrainStorm achieved faster development, better functionality, stability, flexible costs, and scalability to deliver a better user experience.
“Thanks to the rich ecosystem of Azure services, we could start innovating right away. Post-trading processes and their infrastructure must be fast, high-performance, scalable, and able to support straightforward data exchange, while also offering a high level of security and protection for our sensitive data. Azure does all this for us.”
Avoid hard-coding access to other services like Azure Blog storage and Azure Cosmos DB using triggers and bindings. Triggers are what cause a function to run, and bindings are declarations that connect the function to another resource.
Create and test functions on your local machine using your favorite code editor and development tools. Connect local functions to live Azure services and debug them on your local computer using the full Functions runtime. The requirements for developing functions on your local computer depend on the programming languages and tools you prefer.
Running Functions on Container Apps is a good fit for multitype microservices architecture in a centralized environment. This gives you consistent network, observability, and billing configurations.
