Introduction
Azure Functions provide a serverless compute service that lets you run code without managing servers. You only pay for what you use.
It’s ideal for event-driven tasks like data processing, image manipulation, and webhooks.
Key Concepts
- Functions: Small, independent units of code.
- Trigger: What starts the function.
- Parameters: Input data the function receives.
- Return Values: The function produces data.
Example: A Simple Function
Here's a very basic function that returns 'Hello, Azure!'
function hello() {
return "Hello, Azure!";
}
