Some Azure serverless use cases

In the next sections, we'll see some of the most common use cases for serverless computing. Serverless computing is not restricted to these scenarios, and every day a new scenario is created that needs these powerful technologies.

IoT and Edge devices

IoT devices can be used to gather and process data from various sources and use directly in the field. One important use case can be using IoT to feed data into Stream Analytics, which can work with it. Stream Analytics can call Azure Functions when it needs to perform custom processing of the data using algorithms that are not included in the product.
