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.

What is the timeline for supporting the new Azure SDKs?
I really want to get rid of the connection strings in my functions and I want to be able to switch to the Azure.Identity SDK for auth. I understand that this will be a breaking change, however some communication about the plan would be nice.
3 votesWe’re unable to provide a specific timeline on this here, but it is certainly planned. Likely this will come in phases, with the Storage support being made available first.

managed mysql connection pooling proxy for azure function
In short: AWS RDS Proxy equivalent solution for Azure.
Using managed RDBMS like mySQL from FaaS is often said to be a bad practice because of difficulties of handling connection; FaaS might finish before closing its connection, might consumes too much connections when requests burst.
Instead, using connectionless database is encouraged, but in many usecases, RDB's functionality is still preferred over connectionless DB(such as CosmosDB), because of its flexibility of queries and transaction.
AWS resolves this dilemma by providing a managed connection pooling point called RDS Proxy.
6 votesNo plans on this at the moment, but keep the votes coming. We do recommend connection pooling where clients support it, such as best effort use of statics or, for .NET, dependency injection of the client.

Support visibilityTimeout of Queue Trigger to be maintained after restarting Functions host.
The automatic retry with visibilityTimeout of Queue Trigger happens when the function host is up and running.
But after restarting Functions host, sometimes retry interval does not refer to visibilityTimeout.
Could you please support visibilityTimeout to be maintained after restarting Functions host?

Support user assigned managed identities in keyvault references
Keyvault references support system assigned managed identities. However in a lot of applications you might need to create your own managed identity since the system assigned ones get destroyed when the resource is deleted (upgrading to a new plan would be an example of when an azure function needs to be destroyed and recreated).
Every time this happens you need to re-assign permissions, then wait for replication which takes time. Please consider supporting user assigned managed identities in keyvault references.

Create Functions Dynamically
Hi,
I find myself in a situation where I create a lot of functions that look like
public class GetTenants
{
readonly TenantHandler _handler;public GetTenants(TenantHandler handler) => _handler = handler;
[FunctionName(nameof(GetTenants))]
public Task<IActionResult> RunAsync(
[HttpTrigger(AuthorizationLevel.Function, "get", Route = "tenants")]
HttpRequest request) =>
_handler.GetAsync(request);
}or
public class OnQueueMessage : AnOnQueueMessageFunction
{
public OnQueueMessage(IMessageReceiver receiver) : base(receiver, MetaDataConstants.QueueName) {}[FunctionName(nameof(OnQueueMessage))]
public Task RunAsync([ServiceBusTrigger(MetaDataConstants.QueueName)]
Message message,
CancellationToken cancellationToken) =>
HandleAsync(message, cancellationToken);
}As you can see I have already eliminated boilerplate as much as possible. However, because of the need to use attributes to register and bind the functions, I can…

Processing Python Dataframes - how to write out to Blob Storage?
I am trying to build a file processing function - ingests excel files, performs some column transformations using python data frames. subsequently I want to write the file to a Storage Container. So far I haven't been able to read from the docs on how to convert the python DataFrame into a Stream that is writable? How can we achieve that?

Add a "Run" button to the portal
There are 2 documented ways to "manually" run a funciton.
HTTP triggered: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-create-first-azure-function#test-the-function
Non-HTTP triggered: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-manually-run-non-http
Both approaches are quite clunky. Since running a function manually is obviously possible and documented, it seem like a glaring omission that a simple "Run" button isn't provided in the portal.

Azure Function functionTimeout needs to be configurable per-environment via app settings, not only through host.json
I need to configure my functionTimeout on an Azure Function per-environment. I have dev deployments that should just use a default timeout, and production deployments that can handle a long timeout (dedicated app service).

Project Version Display in Portal
It would be helpful if the Portal displayed the currently deployed function DLL version for easy IT reference. We deploy our Functions through our IT team via the Zip Deploy process in all UAT and Production environments and it would be great if they could easily confirm that the currently deployed/running version.
2 votesWe don’t have plans to enable this. You can however open up the console in the portal from the left hand pane and then run the following to get the version.
PowerShell (Get-Command d:\paht\myfile.dll).FileVersionInfo.FileVersion
3.1.0.2replacing the path with the dll you want to review.

Do not execute Timer Trigger in Azure Functions Deployment Slots (other than production)
Currently Timer Trigger still execute in Deployment Slots, which renders them useless for any Functions containing Timer Triggers, because you will then have two running instances.
As I understood the slots, their intention is to make the deployment as seemless as possible. So if I have to stop the slot auto-manually (CI/CD) after the swap, I might stop a running function in the middle of something. If I dont, I will have effectively two running instances of the same Azure Functions, doing everything twice.
So could it be possible to have Timer Triggers not be exectuted when the Function runs…

Allow regex or port ranges in CORS rules
Not sure if this is Azure Functions specific, but it would be great to be able to specify a regex statement or a range of ports for a CORS rule for my function app.
My specific use case is I am working on a Twitch.tv extension, and the "developer rig" they provide for hosting the frontend files when developing locally uses a new random port number every time the files are reloaded, and I can't change that behavior. I would love to be able to specify a CORS rule like " http://localhost:[50000-60000] " but it seems this isn't allowed. I…
