Serverless Applications - Azure Functions, API Mgmt., Insights
summary
Explains concrete Azure Functions tradeoffs and recipes: use blob trigger to compress images and write to a second container, use an HTTP trigger plus SendGrid binding or Twilio to offload email/SMS, and use a timer trigger to purge inactive table rows. Covers plans and limits (consumption vs premium vs dedicated), pre-warmed workers as a cold‑start mitigation, mandatory storage account per function app, function timeouts, vendor lock‑in, and using API Management and Application Insights for security and telemetry.
