Golang support for Azure Functions

C# and other environments are already supported; it would be nice if Go / Golang was one of them. I'd love to handle web requests using Golang + Azure Functions.It could provide the HTTP Requests via the stdin, while the HTTP Response can be given via the stdout. (or whatever those two are called on Windows ;-) )

Company Response

Please take a look at the custom handlers feature that allows you to write functions in Go. https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/azure-functions/functions-custom-handlers- (Name).

Support for native Rust Azure Functions

As of February 2019, Azure Functions support native .NET, JavaScript and Python.Could we please have native support to run Azure Functions written in Rust? To host Rust functions currently we have to pay for a Linux App Service plan and embed our functions within a Docker container. This is expensive just to run a few microservices written in Rust.Peter Huene has an excellent project for anyone interest in writing Azure Functions in Rust....https://github.com/peterhuene/azure-functions-rs

Support for Azure Managed Service Identities in EventHub (and other) triggers

In Event Hub, I can add my Function App's MSI as a data reader, but in the function I cannot use trigger bindings to read from the queue without using a SecureAccess Key. We are trying to go password free wherever possible, and Azure has been promoting this course of action, so why do we need secret keys for reading from the queue? It then forces us to create and share a secret key for partner teams to read from our queue, rather than just permissioning them in Event Hub.

Company Response

We don�t have an exact timeline for this, but this is something we�re eager to light up and have some preliminary work underway for. This will likely show up for Storage first, but messaging services like Event Hub would be shortly after.

Enable custom 3rd party authentication providers

Outside of out of the box providers like facebook and google, provide samples and guidance on how to authenticate with others like LinkedIn.

Company Response

We have created an early public preview of OpenID Connect support, allowing you to bring your own OIDC provider: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/app-service/configure-authentication-provider-openid-connectIf you have an OIDC provider you wish to use, we encourage you to try out this path. There are still some rough edges to the preview, but we�re hoping to smooth those out soon.

Support gRPC in azure function as trigger

gRPC is a standard for microservices and cloud-native solutions nowadays. It should be supported by azure functions, durable functions and API Management.

Company Response

No plans for this one, but please keep the votes coming!

Support F# scripts (.fsx) in v2 and v3

F# script usage is about to become much more prevalent due to the improved #r nuget imports in F#5. Azure Functions v2 and v3 should support F# scripts so that we can avoid having to create a function project when a a simple .fsx would suffice.

Company Response

Currently unplanned but please keep the votes coming. � (Name).

Allow Key Vault references to access secrets behind Key Vault Firewall

Key Vault references cannot currently be used to access secrets in a vault that has been configured with Key Vault Firewall / service endpoints.It should be possible to resolve secrets from Vaults configured this way (provided the web app / function app is configured with the right VNET integration).

Company Response

This is now available for Windows apps. Linux support is coming soon.https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/general-availability-networking-for-key-vault-references-on-windows-in-app-service-and-azure-functions/

Add VNet integration to the Consumption plan

Currently, the only serverless solution for VNet integration is to upgrade to the premium consumption plan.It seems like overkill to upgrade to a whole new (way pricier) plan, to simply use a static outbound IP with Azure functions.

ASP.NET Core MVC/Web API support

Enable developers to create serverless applications using the ASP.NET Core Web API framework.

Company Response

Still unplanned, but please keep the votes coming!

SQL Azure trigger support

Azure functions are great, but a lot of application logic is driven by data in SQL Azure DBs. It would be great to have a trigger based on a SQL Azure row data.

Company Response

This is currently on our radar and is now planned work. Thanks for voting!- (Name), Azure Functions
