Description:

  • FaaS
  • Event-driven, serverless compute option that doesn’t require maintaining virtual machines or containers.
  • With Azure Functions, an event wakes the function, alleviating the need to keep resources provisioned when there are no events.
  • Functions can be either stateless or stateful.
    • When they’re stateless (the default), they behave as if they’re restarted every time they respond to an event.
    • When they’re stateful (called Durable Functions), a context is passed through the function to track prior activity.
