Take a Break with Azure Functions
Azure Functions are a serverless technology that executes code based on various triggers (i.e. a URL is called, an item is placed on a queue, a file is added to blob storage, a timer goes off.) There’s all sorts of things you can do with Azure Functions, like running high CPU-bound calculations, calling various web services and reporting results, sending messages to groups – and nearly anything you can imagine. But unlike traditional applications and services, there’s no need to set up an application host or server that’s constantly running, waiting to respond to requests or triggers. Azure Functions are deployed as and when needed, to as many servers as needed, to meet the demands of incoming requests. There’s no need to set up and maintain hosting infrastructure, you get automatic scaling, and – best of all – you only pay for the cycles used while your functions are being executed.
