Learn AZURE-FUNCTIONS with Real Code Examples
Updated Nov 25, 2025
Architecture
Functions execute in a serverless environment managed by Azure
Triggers invoke functions automatically (HTTP, timer, queue, Event Grid)
Bindings provide declarative input/output integration
Scaling handled automatically based on incoming events
Integration with Azure monitoring and logging services
Rendering Model
Event triggers function (HTTP, queue, timer, etc.)
Function executes logic in managed environment
Bindings provide input/output connectivity
Response or output delivered to endpoint or storage
Telemetry collected via Application Insights
