Azure Functions allow developers to write code that runs in response to events, enabling event-driven architectures. Functions can be triggered by common data sources and services and support multiple programming languages. Functions provide automatic scaling and only run code when triggered, avoiding the need to manage servers. They integrate with other Azure services and can be developed, tested, and deployed using common tools like Visual Studio.
