    Hi Emily,

    Azure functions are web services that are hosted and managed on the cloud. This allows developers to just focus on writing the function code without worring about the hosting and deployment. Functions could be triggered in many ways for example based on a time interval or a specific http call for a specific URL or any custom trigger after data change and so on.
