Azure Functions

This covers the modern Azure Functions programming models across .NET isolated worker, Python v2 decorators, and Node.js v4, plus production patterns like Durable Functions orchestration and cold start mitigation. The sharp edges table is genuinely useful, calling out the usual suspects: blocking async calls, HttpClient misuse, and the fact that you should really be using the isolated worker model for new projects instead of the legacy in-process one. Good coverage of timeout configs, Application Insights setup, and warmup triggers. Lean on this when you're past the basics and need to avoid the performance traps that bite most teams in production.

⚠️ Sharp Edges

Issue	Severity	Solution
Issue	high	## Use async pattern with Durable Functions
Issue	high	## Use IHttpClientFactory (Recommended)
Issue	high	## Always use async/await
Issue	medium	## Configure maximum timeout (Consumption)
Issue	high	## Use isolated worker for new projects
Issue	medium	## Configure Application Insights properly
Issue	medium	## Check extension bundle (most common)
Issue	medium	## Add warmup trigger to initialize your code
