Azure Functions
Azure Functions is an event driven, compute-on-demand experience that extends the existing Azure application platform with capabilities to implement code triggered by events occurring in other Azure services, SaaS products, and on-premises systems. With Azure Functions, your applications scale based on demand and you pay only for the resources you consume. Azure Functions provides an intuitive, browser-based user interface allowing you to create scheduled or triggered pieces of code implemented in a variety of programming languages.

Functions Summary/Status on Function App dashboard/home
It would be helpful to have a dashboard on the Function App home page to display summary/status data about all the Functions in the Function App. For example I currently have to go to each Function individually and click Monitor to see Recent Success or Error Count or to the Manage tab to see if a Function is Enabled.
The current "The faster way to functions" getting started content is really only relevant for new users.

Better support for SharedAccessSignature for inputs and outputs
I have a Azure Function with an Azure Table as input, and I was trying to use a SharedAccessSignature in the connection string. I wanted to limit access to a specific table, and provide no access to other Azure storage services. However, when I try to run the function, there are errors saying that no Blob endpoint is configured, no Queue endpoint is configured, etc.
I would like to have a connection string with only TableEndpoint and a SharedAccessSignature, and support signatures that limit access to a specific table or even a specific subset of a table (partition key range).…

Should support trigger for Azure Files
This would make hybrid integration scenarios for customers with no IT trivial, anybody can drop a file in a share.

Support for R
Are there any plans to support R scripts in the future?
79 votesThanks for your feedback. Currently, we don’t have any plans for R support in Functions. We will monitor the votes on this request to accordingly inform the priority on our backlog.

Sync code from blob storage
I find the current deployment model way too difficult to work with. Please consider supporting auto-sync from blob storage, similar to what aws lambda offers.

Add max calls/per day|hour|minute configuration for throttling
Now- any light ddos attack that Azure will not recognize- will affect me and my account. If I know that my service shouldn't receive more than 10000 calls per day, but I can't setup limits on incoming requests.
"Daily Usage Quota (GB-Sec)"- not bad idea, but it's something internal and synthetic for me. Call/per day- is much more native metrics for users.
87 votesHere’s the latest as there seem to be 2 types of ask here and so two seperate updates. Need comments for if this issue should close to be focused on one or other:
1. I want to control how many calls my function can make to another API (the 3rd party API rate limiting).
– In all plans we now have a way to specify the max instances. This can limit how far a function app instance can scale: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-scale#limit-scale-out2. I want to stop my function from triggering more than x times an hour.
Nothing planned in this in the short term. Using API Management for HTTP functions with throttles would be our recommendation for HTTP, nothing out of box for non-HTTP triggers yet. -
Autocomplete and intellisense on a portal
Hi,
it's cool that we have source code editor, but without Autocomplete and intellisense it's really hard write and debug code directly on a porta.
Few years ago was project Monaco on a classic azure porta. could you reuse it add autocomplete somehow else?!13 votesThis remains unplanned.

Add Auth0 to list of identity providers and allow custom URL in 'URL Authorization Rules
[This is more an AppService issue but there's not forum for that.]
It's important to me to have the ability to use a custom authentication UI and Auth0 provide this and their own database for user storage. Otherwise I have to roll my own. My users do not have any existing accounts (including email) and so need a simple username / password experience (as horrible this might be for most of us)
A reasonable list of providers is available but adding Auth0 will open the possibilities up. Auth0 is not only excellent but acts as a proxy to a very…

Handle Storage Queue/Service Bus messages in batches
I want to be able to handle multiple messages per function call - we are using a third-party web service which works much more efficiently if the messages are passed to it in batches. I know we could use a timer to trigger the function and grab messages from the queue ourselves but if we do that the function won't scale out automatically.

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.

Output to Service Bus Queues Dynamically
I have an Azure Function that binds to an input Event Hub and an output Service Bus Namespace. The output binding accepts the name of a queue. However, the event data coming from the Event Hub can potentially go to different queues. The determinant is in the message data. It would be nice to be able to tokenize the queue destination based on event data coming from the Event Hub

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 ;-) )

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.
169 votesWe 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-connect
If 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.
