Who is this best for?

This is the fastest way to decide whether Azure Functions is in the right neighborhood.

Best for
  • Azure-first teams building event-driven functions
  • Enterprise orgs with Microsoft governance and identity requirements
  • Workloads that benefit from managed triggers and Azure service integrations
  • Teams that want serverless without building an orchestration platform
Who should avoid
  • Edge latency is the primary value and global distribution is required
  • You need minimal cloud coupling and maximum portability
  • Your workload is sustained/heavy and better suited to always-on compute
