How do bindings work in Isolated Process .NET Azure Functions?

In this post, I’ll explain what Bindings are in Azure Functions, How they currently work with in-process Functions and how for isolated functions, they work a little differently. What are Bindings? In Azure Functions, we use Bindings as a way of connecting resources to our functions. We can use input and output bindings and the data from our bindings is provided to our Functions as parameters. We can be flexible in the way that we use Bindings!...

We can run our C# Azure Functions in an isolated process, decoupling the version of .NET that we use in our Functions from the version of the runtime that our Functions have been developed on ⚡ Before this, we would have to develop Functions that had a class library and host that were tightly integrated with each other. That meant that we had to run our .NET in-process on the same version as the Azure Functions Runtime (....

Using Azure Functions Core Tools to fetch app settings for local development

Update: If you prefer watching videos to reading, I made a video on my YouTube channel that covers this content Before deploying our Azure Functions, it’s good to debug our Functions locally to ensure that it works as expected. Running our Functions locally requires a local.settings.json file to store our application settings. When we first create a Function in Visual Studio, a local.settings.json file is generated for us. However, if we clone a Function app from a repository, this file won’t be cloned!...
