Introducing Azure Functions
Azure Functions is a versatile service that can help you build responsive, scalable, and cost-effective applications. One of the most common use cases for Azure Functions is event-driven processing. Azure Functions can be triggered by a wide range of events, including HTTP requests, messages from a queue, database changes, or timer schedules. This makes them ideal for building event-driven architectures that can respond to real-time events and process data streams as they arrive. By building applications this way, developers can make sure that their apps are always responsive and up to date, even if the amount of data and how it needs to be processed changes.
Another common way to use Azure Functions is to build small services that can run on their own and perform specific tasks. Microservices architecture is a modern approach to software development that divides large applications into smaller, more manageable components. This division allows developers...
