In the fast-paced world of cloud computing, developers are constantly looking for ways to build applications faster, cheaper, and with less overhead. That’s where Azure Functions step in—offering a serverless compute service that lets you run small pieces of code (called functions) without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. Whether you’re building a quick backend API, processing queue messages, or reacting to file uploads, Azure Functions make it simple and scalable. ☁️ What is Azure Functions? Azure Functions is a serverless offering from Microsoft Azure. Serverless doesn't mean there's no server—it means you don’t have to manage the server. You write code that reacts to events, and Azure handles the rest: provisioning, scaling, and maintaining the compute resources. In short, you: Write a function (in C#, JavaScript, Python, PowerShell, Java, or others) Define how it’s triggered (HTTP request, Timer, Queue, Blob upload, etc.) Deploy it Azure scales it automatically based on demand
