How to create Azure Function App in Azure Portal
This article helps you to learn how to create Azure Function App in Azure Portal.
Azure Function Apps
Azure functions is a solution for executing small lines of code or the functions in the Cloud. We can also select the our programming languages, as per our desire. We pay only for the time your code executes, that is Pay per use. Its support a variety of programming languages like C#, F#, Node.js, Python, PHP or Java. Its support continuous Deployment and Integration. Azure functions Applications let us develop Serverless Applications. Please refer official page of Azure Functions for more details
