Getting an overview of Azure Functions

Azure Functions is a service offered by Azure that provides functions as a service. You write code (in different languages) without worrying about the infrastructure, and your code executes in the cloud. With Azure Functions, you can run your code on demand (after a request to the function), on schedule, or automatically in response to different events.

You can write an Azure function directly via the Azure portal or you can develop it locally on your development machine. You can also debug and test an Azure function locally before deploying it to the cloud.

Azure Functions has the following key features:

• Develop in the language you are most familiar with or reuse your existing code in the cloud
