IT & Software → Microsoft Azure → Azure Functions → Introduction to Azure Functions

Overview

Azure Functions is a serverless compute service that lets you run code on-demand without managing servers. It allows you to build applications that respond to events, such as HTTP requests or database changes. With Azure Functions, you can focus on writing your code while Azure handles the infrastructure. This makes it easier to create scalable and efficient applications quickly.
