Azure Functions is Microsoft Azure's serverless compute service for running event-driven code without managing infrastructure. It automatically scales, integrates with many Azure services and bindings, and supports multiple languages. Suitable for lightweight APIs, event processing and scheduled tasks, it reduces operational overhead but requires cloud-nativ…

Azure Functions is a serverless Azure service that runs code in response to events without requiring teams to manage the underlying servers.
Azure Functions grew from the need to provide small reactive processing steps independently of permanently operated servers. Microsoft combines event-driven execution with Azure services and scalable infrastructure.
A trigger starts a function through HTTP, a message, a timer, or another event. Bindings read inputs and write outputs while the runtime handles execution and scaling. Code stays focused on one task; state and dependencies must be handled deliberately outside the invocation.
A trigger defines which event starts execution.
Bindings declaratively connect a function to inputs and outputs.
The runtime executes code and handles parts of infrastructure and scaling.
Durable state belongs in suitable external services rather than one invocation.
Azure Functions fits webhooks, integration steps, background processing, and scheduled tasks. Cold starts, execution limits, observability, cost, and state management constrain its suitability for every application.
