Hi Anthony, great content and perfect starting point for using custom handlers in Azure Functions. I especially liked the additional hints and tricks you presented.

Hi Anthony, Incredible first video! Very well explained.

Excellent introduction to custom handlers!

Ah, almost perfect. I wish you covered authLevel and work through the azure portal on different keys, and which one to use.

what about different triggers like a servicebus message?

Awesome video, new sub. Would love to see an example that leverages read/writing with blob stores and using keyvault sectrets.

Great video Anthony.

I have one question, Do we lose any performance when writing azure functions using a custom handler using GO ? When compared to other languages like Nodejs which has first-class integrated support

[hugomartinezf]

So I can't create a serverless function using purely golang?

Cool video man, make sure to tell bill gates to support natively soon too. For now this is awesome
