Pros of Azure Functions • Azure Functions are cheap. • Azure Functions are simple for simple scenarios. • The amount of code you write in a function will probably be less than writing the same behavior outside of Azure Functions.

Cons of Azure Functions • The languages and the runtimes for Azure Functions are not specialized. • Deploying, authoring, testing, and executing a function is difficult outside of Azure. • Startup time of the function is sometimes a little bit slow.
