Introduction Azure Functions are serverless applications on Microsoft Azure Cloud Platform without worrying about the infrastructure to run it. It’s very similar to the lambda function in the AWS Cloud. Learning Objectives Create a function using Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code Run an Azure function locally. Prerequisites for Developers Experience with Visual Studio Basic understanding of C# Programming Language Getting Started Add a new function Choose a project, “Azure Function,” from Visual Studio. Select .Net 6 as the target version Select the template “HTTP Trigger.” Provide a function name. Choose Authorization Level as “Anonymous,” which allows access to anyone to call your function endpoint. Code The below Azure Function returns a string message as follows If ?name= is passed, then returns a message as Hello, {name}. This HTTP-triggered function was executed successfully. Else a general message is returned This HTTP triggered function executed successfully. Pass a name in the query string or in the request body for a personalized response. public static class BasicExample
    {
        [FunctionName("BasicExample")]
        public static async Task<IActionResult> Run(
            [HttpTrigger(AuthorizationLevel.Anonymous, "get", "post", Route = null)] HttpRequest req,
            ILogger log)
        {
            log.LogInformation("C# HTTP trigger function processed a request.");
    
            string name = req.Query["name"];
    
            string requestBody = await new StreamReader(req.Body).ReadToEndAsync();
            dynamic data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(requestBody);
            name = name ?? data?.name;
    
            string responseMessage = string.IsNullOrEmpty(name)
                ? "This HTTP triggered function executed successfully. Pass a name in the query string or in the request body for a personalized response."
                : $"Hello, {name}. This HTTP triggered function executed successfully.";
    
            return new OkObjectResult(responseMessage);
        }
    } Test the function locally Simply press F5 to start debugging the Azure function, it will open a console which will provide a URL to access the browser. Console Output Azure Functions Core Tools
