I’ve been playing around with Azure Functions recently. I’m hoping to do a specific write up later explaining what I’m building and why. For now though I’ve been writing some easy Python code to read data from Table Storage and create messages on Queues.
It’s pretty easy to get started using VSCode with the Azure extension to create, write and run the functions. To emulate the storage I’m using Azurite which is an open source Azure storage emulator. This is needed to emulate the functions storage and also the Table and Queue that I’m using to read and write data to.
