Azure Functions: DEEP DIVE with Microsoft MVP, Ian Griffiths

Ep #99 of the Real-World Serverless podcast
In this episode, I spoke with Ian Griffiths, a Technical Fellow at Endjin, a Microsoft MVP, and the author of O'Reilly's Programming C# 10.0.
In this episode, we took a deep dive into Azure Functions, how it works and how it differs (significantly) from AWS Lambda.

Really enjoyed this. Lots of invaluable insights into Azure Functions borne of real-world experience. Particular highlights for me were ~11:55 discussion on the pricing plans, and then at ~18:15 about the nature of scale-out and how this can affect costs; ~40:00 micro-VMs like Firecracker which I had never heard of, and then the challenges of using Azure Functions at ~45:00 including the impact of dependencies on other parts of the Azure platform. Thanks Yan and Ian for a very informative chat.
