 **Azure Function Apps** are a **serverless compute service** that allow you to run small pieces of code, called **functions**, without managing the underlying infrastructure. They are designed to execute code in response to various triggers, such as **HTTP requests, timers, or events from other Azure services** like Blob Storage or Event Hubs. Function Apps support multiple programming languages, including C#, Python, JavaScript, and Java, making them versatile for building **event-driven applications**, automating workflows, or integrating services. They are cost-effective, as you usually only pay for the compute time used when your code runs.

+Note that **Functions are a subset of the App Services**, therefore, a lot of the features discussed here will be used also by applications created as Azure Apps (`webapp` in cli).

 ### Different Plans
 
 * **Flex Consumption Plan**: Offers **dynamic, event-driven scaling** with pay-as-you-go pricing, adding or removing function instances based on demand. It supports **virtual networking** and **pre-provisioned instances** to reduce cold starts, making it suitable for **variable workloads** that don’t require container support.

+Just like in App Services, Functions also support basic authentication to connect to **SCM** and **FTP** to deploy code using a **username and password in a URL** provided by Azure. More information about it in:

 ### Github Based Deployments
 
 When a function is generated from a Github repo Azure web console allows to **automatically create a Github Workflow in a specific repository** so whenever this repository is updated the code of the function is updated. Actually the Github Action yaml for a python function looks like this:
