Developing Azure Functions using the v2 programming model for Python | Azure Friday

[@databach6024]

Hi nice demo ! :) Can you show us how to run a non-http triggered function locally without http ? Like EventHub Trigger ? How can we emulate the EventHub ?

When is the Azure Docs team going to update the documentation to reflect the changes in V2 ? Most of the documentation is stuck in V1 (mentioning function.json and __init__.py that are not present in V2)

[@MicrosoftAzure]

Hello there! To access information about the new programming model, make sure to select the "v2" option at the top of the documentation page. Note that not all the pages have been updated to include v2 documentation yet, but the team is currently working on updating the remaining pages. You can find helpful links to v2 documentation below. - Developer Reference Guide: msft.it/60585dUqi - Triggers & Bindings: msft.it/60595dUqc - Getting Started in VS Code: msft.it/60505dUqY - Getting Started in Core Tools: msft.it/60515dUql

Can you please do a video on how to change the video formats in the azure blob itself.

I had timeout error very often, how should I do?

[@tomlinsoncory]

Azure functions are unbelievably frustrating to use which is made worse by very poor documentation and a support team that doesn’t understand the product. I tried to deploy a V2 Python function only to learn there is no support for Durable Functions in the V2 programming model. I love Azure, but this product needs a complete overhaul that includes accurate error reporting. Failing functions that report red herring errors in the logs make it impossible to troubleshoot problems.

[@NielsBerglund]

I hear you! However, it seems that there is now support (limited perhaps) in v2 for durable functions.

[@shreyabatra1208]

Hi Cory, I am sorry to hear about your experience with Azure Functions so far. Durable Functions is supported for the v2 programming model, and you can find more information on the official Microsoft docs, and the link is included in the video description with the title "Python V2 model Azure Functions triggers and bindings (preview)". If you do try it out, or if you have additional feedback for the team, we would love to hear from you. You can let the team know your comments directly by clicking the link in the description with the title "V2 Programming Model for Azure Functions using Python" and opening the discussion.

You must be kidding. I use azure functions for a year and it works like magic. I was not expecting that to be honest

[@JosiahWarren]

​@@NielsBerglund i use durable functions in production code and the documentation. I had initial problem understqnding that the durable task framework just saves all the state at some checkpoints and then replays the workflow, but after i got that then everything became crystal clear.

This is a horrible misrepresentation of what Azure Functions actually are. You need to get some cloud learnings and experience before making a statement like that. Azure Functions are AMAZING and anyone coming from Google Cloud or AWS can quickly acknowledge that. The documentation isn’t perfect but stellar in comparison. Also backed by open source so we can all change what isn’t perfect ;)

[@Amivit]

Super nice presentation! Would you like to come show it off at LEGO? ☺️ Also, can we use FastApi with Durable Functions? Any benefits to that or do you recommend just sticking with native if we have no specific needs/experience with fastapi? I’m wondering if it gives more control for the route

[@MicrosoftAzure]

We are happy to hear the team enjoyed it 🙌 For the best assistance and support, we'd recommend reaching out to our team @AzureSupport. You can tag them in a post or DM them directly.

[@tadastadux]

is there a repo and tests avaiable please?

[@MicrosoftAzure]

Hello, you can find examples of triggers and binding using the v2 programming model here: msft.it/6051cO5ht 2Cpython-v2&pivots=programming-language-python#supported-bindings

[@Xavwar]

Hi Shreya. should I migrate my code from the v1 model to the v2 model? thanks

[@shreyabatra1208]

Hi Xavwar, you are welcome to migrate the code from v1 to v2 if you would like to use the new features for the v2 programming model in your development. However, there is no requirement to migrate your code at this time.

[@hasaniqbal813]

It’s not very poor, but extremely poor demo, what a shame…

[@SarahTran1240]

This demo does not really follow a logic to deploy a function and it made the audience found difficult to understand.
