This document discusses serverless computing using Azure Functions. It begins by outlining the benefits of serverless computing such as abstraction of servers, focus on business logic, instant scaling, and sub-second billing. It then provides an overview of Azure Functions, describing how it allows developers to build applications using event-driven code that scales based on demand. Finally, it covers deployment options, development tools, compute options, and other Azure serverless technologies.
