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
