Programming Model
Azure Functions: Triggers and Bindings [FunctionName("MyFunc")] public static void Work(
[TimerTrigger("0 */10 * * * *")] TimerInfo timer, [Blob("filename")] Stream stream, [Queue("myqueue")] out string message) { // body }
AWS: JSON Input and Output exports.handler = async (event) =>
{ const response = { statusCode: 200, body: JSON.stringify('Hello from Lambda!'), }; return response; };
ASP.NET Core on AWS Lambda public class LambdaFunction : Amazon.Lambda.AspNetCoreServer.APIGatewayProxyFunction
{ protected override void Init(IWebHostBuilder builder) { builder .UseContentRoot(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()) .UseStartup() .UseApiGateway(); } }
GCP: Express-like API exports.helloWorld = (req, res) => { let
message = req.query.message || req.body.message || 'Hello World!'; res.status(200).send(message); };
