Integrating functions with other services
In the last part of this chapter, we will focus a little bit on understanding how Azure Functions integrates with other Azure services. We will look at the available triggers and bindings and try to figure out the best use cases for them along with how they really work. This section is designed in a way that enables you to explore more by yourself—thanks to a common understanding of how Azure Functions works.
The Function file
The way in which the Azure Functions bindings work is that they are compiled into a metadata file, which is generated when your function app is built. This file can be found among your compilation artifacts (try searching for the functions.metadata file). The file structure can be a little bit different depending on the platform used and the actual triggers/outputs, but the generic structure can be presented as follows:
[
{
"name": "HttpTrigger1"...
