Azure Functions

Build serverless applications with Azure Functions.

Create Function App

az functionapp create
--resource-group mygroup
--consumption-plan-location eastus
--runtime python
--runtime-version 3.11
--functions-version 4
--name myfunctionapp
--storage-account mystorageaccount

Function Code

import azure.functions as func

def main(req: func.HttpRequest) -> func.HttpResponse: return func.HttpResponse("Hello, World!")

Deployment

Deploy using Core Tools

func azure functionapp publish myfunctionapp

Deploy using ZIP

az functionapp deployment source config-zip
--resource-group mygroup
--name myfunctionapp
--src function.zip

Best Practices

• Use consumption plan for variable workloads

• Implement Durable Functions for orchestration

• Use managed identity for authentication

• Monitor with Application Insights
