Microsoft Azure Functions
Azure Functions is a serverless compute platform from Microsoft Azure enabling event-driven code execution triggered by HTTP requests, timers, queues, blobs, and other Azure services. The Azure Functions management API provides programmatic access to function app lifecycle management, deployment, configuration, scaling, and monitoring through Azure Resource Manager.
Microsoft Azure Functions publishes 22 APIs on the APIs.io network, including AppServiceEnvironments API, AppServicePlans API, Certificates API, and 19 more. Tagged areas include Azure, Cloud, Compute, Event-Driven, and Microsoft.
The Microsoft Azure Functions catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 3 Spectral governance rulesets.
Microsoft Azure Functions’ developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, getting-started guide, documentation, pricing, support, engineering blog, and 32 more developer resources.
