It is unlikely for serverless compute, to be used as a completely standalone service to implement the entire functionality needed by an application. Hence, it is important to consider the pricing of other services used in conjunction with Azure Functions.
Even in our little text sentiment analysis application, there are quite a few different services involved. To gain a full picture of the application pricing, we need to price estimate those services as well.
Take a look at the following text sentiment analysis application architecture diagram and consider all the services used in the application:
In this section, we will give a short overview of the pricing of services in the preceding diagram and calculate the overall application cost based on the total number of user requests.
