Event-driven actions using Azure Functions

Azure Functions is a serverless compute service that enables you to create event-driven actions and triggers without the need to provision or manage your own infrastructure. In Azure Functions, you can run a script or custom code that responds to events from Azure, third-party services, or on-premises systems. You can build HTTP-based API endpoints (called HTTP triggers) that can be accessed by a wide range of applications, as well as mobile and IoT devices. You can also create timer triggers, which can run based on a schedule. With Azure Functions, you pay only for the resources you consume.

Functions use an Azure storage account to store code and configuration bindings. It uses the standard Azure Storage, which provides blob, table, and queue storage for storing the files and triggers. You can use the same App Service plans for your...
