Exploring Azure Functions development in Visual Studio

Visual Studio provides several built-in templates for the Azure platform. As Azure Functions is the most popular cloud-native feature of Microsoft, we will focus on it in this section.

Put simply, Azure Functions is a serverless computing service offered by Microsoft Azure that allows developers to run small pieces of code without worrying about the underlying infrastructure.

Azure Functions is designed to respond to events from a variety of sources, including HTTP requests, timers, database changes, and many other Azure services. This event-driven model enables us to build applications that react to real-time data changes, automate tasks, and integrate with other systems seamlessly.

First, we need to ensure that the Azure development workload is installed on our Visual Studio instance by navigating to the Visual Studio Installer.
