Azure Functions
Azure Functions is a serverless compute service that enables developers to build and deploy event-driven applications without the need to manage infrastructure. By automatically scaling resources based on demand, it allows for efficient execution of code in response to various triggers, such as HTTP requests, database changes, or messages from other Azure services. This approach simplifies the development process, reduces operational overhead, and supports a wide range of programming languages, including C#, JavaScript, Python, and Java.
