Serverless == Less Servers - love that!

Thanks in a million Jeff & Scott. Awesome stuff. Second to NONE

It's awesome how Azure functions can easily scale up

Serverless == Server (Management) Less. There are no serverless but the management. Awesome things. Thank you very much for sharing this! Love it...

This is awesome. I'm still going to need a little help to migrate the site and will have to make calculations for the actual cost for the whole year. Good Start. Thank You Scott.

This is a good workflow that can cleanly integrate Azure Functions.

Is there a way to implement exception filter or exception Middleware in azure functions with Net5. I'm not able to find httpcontext objects to form the response based on different exception. If any advice is there, kindly share

@Scott, in your text you mentioned that you were using same app service plan to run Azure Function as that of the one hosting your web-site. I am not able to understand the downside of it ? Will it not save me some cost ?

Scott.. You are Awesome.. You are the STAR! what if you are Constellation! :D

Problem with consumption plan is that it can't use Managed Identity and Service Bus triggers.

Very interesting 🔥 I was planning to move our existing node js api written in loopback framework from app service to function app, but I can't without some code refactoring. Is there any way to overcome this challenge?

Aws lambda can do aspcore apps as serverless can’t they? MS a bit behind here. You constantly saying….. in aspcore I do this, how do I do that in a function which don’t really want you doing it.

Not the greatest of ideas to have code in __init__.py file, you can, but not ideal as that file is meant to define a package, any code would have to be for that specific purpose. Not sure many devs expect to have code there.

When Azure beats up non Azure parts of your architecture by being way more scalable, and then looks after them too....
