Developing Azure Functions using the v2 programming model for Python | Azure Friday

Gavin Aguiar and Shreya Batra join Scott Hanselman to discuss the v2 programming model for Azure Functions using Python, which provides an Azure Functions development experience that is more familiar to Python developers. Key features include triggers and bindings declared as decorators, a simplified folder structure, and support through easy to reference documentation.

Hi nice demo ! :) Can you show us how to run a non-http triggered function locally without http ? Like EventHub Trigger ? How can we emulate the EventHub ?

When is the Azure Docs team going to update the documentation to reflect the changes in V2 ? Most of the documentation is stuck in V1 (mentioning function.json and __init__.py that are not present in V2)

Super nice presentation! Would you like to come show it off at LEGO? ☺️ Also, can we use FastApi with Durable Functions? Any benefits to that or do you recommend just sticking with native if we have no specific needs/experience with fastapi? I’m wondering if it gives more control for the route

Can you please do a video on how to change the video formats in the azure blob itself.

I had timeout error very often, how should I do?

Hi Shreya. should I migrate my code from the v1 model to the v2 model?
thanks

[tadastadux]

is there a repo and tests avaiable please?

Azure functions are unbelievably frustrating to use which is made worse by very poor documentation and a support team that doesn’t understand the product. I tried to deploy a V2 Python function only to learn there is no support for Durable Functions in the V2 programming model. I love Azure, but this product needs a complete overhaul that includes accurate error reporting. Failing functions that report red herring errors in the logs make it impossible to troubleshoot problems.

This demo does not really follow a logic to deploy a function and it made the audience found difficult to understand.

It’s not very poor, but extremely poor demo, what a shame…
