Don't use Azure Functions as a web application

Read Original

This technical article argues against using Azure Functions as a platform for building full-featured web applications. It explains that while HTTP-triggered Functions are suitable for simple APIs, they are fundamentally a reactive, message-handling orchestrator. The author recommends using ASP.NET Core for applications requiring full middleware and web pipeline features, reserving Functions for event-driven, scalable logic.
