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

Overview

Azure Functions is a serverless compute service that lets you run code without managing servers. It allows you to execute small pieces of code, called functions, in response to events. This means you can build applications that automatically respond to changes in data, messages, or timers. Azure Functions is great for creating scalable applications quickly and efficiently, making it easier for developers to focus on writing code rather than managing infrastructure.
