Azure Functions

My note on Azure Functions

3 Hosting Plans

Consumption Plan

• an ideal serverless plan but you may encounter a cold-start phenomenon

Premium Plan

• Execute the code as soon as the function is triggered

• Virtual network support. Often the lack of this VNet support is the hurdle in adopting the function in corporate environment

Dedicated Plan

• The same as the App Service Plan in Azure WebApp

Running functions locally

• Start Storage Emulator

• Start Cosmos DB Emulator, if your function uses Cosmos DB

AzureStorageEmulator.exe start
func start
