Azure Functions is a serverless computing service that allows developers to run event-driven code without managing infrastructure. It enables the execution of small, self-contained functions in response to various triggers, simplifying application development and scaling.
Azure Functions follow a microservices-based architecture, providing a scalable, event-driven platform. It leverages a combination of compute, storage, and event sources to execute functions as needed, ensuring seamless integration and reliable performance.
Azure Functions empower developers to create modern solutions that are responsive to real-time events, cost-effective, and easily scalable. They are instrumental in building resilient, cloud-native applications that respond to changing demands with minimal management overhead.
Azure Function Plans offer different hosting options for Azure Functions, including the Consumption Plan, Premium Plan, and Dedicated (App Service) Plan. These plans provide varying levels of resources and features to meet the specific needs of your applications.
Azure Functions' Consumption Plan pricing is based on the number of executions, execution time, and resource consumption. It is a cost-efficient option for applications with varying workloads, as you only pay for the resources used during function execution, making it a flexible and budget-friendly choice for serverless development.
