How to deploy Java app to Azure Function without using the Zip deploy.

Question

I follow these tutorial

• https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-create-maven-intellij
• https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/create-first-function-cli-java
  I found out that these are "Zip Deploy" which make my app failed to run.
  My app needs to save, load local file & execute binaries so "Zip Deploy" is not working.

Is there any way to not using "Zip Deploy"?

I tried to set WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE:0, but no luck.

Hi @ikkyu ,

Most of the function deployment methods would use zip deployment. If you would like to try a non zip deployment method, you can try to deploy the files via FTP and then manually sync the triggers.
