Should be support real-time Storage blob triggers
Azure Functions is awesome! I'd like to propose for more convenience.
Currently, Storage blob triggers do NOT support real-time. Because write at
"https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/functions-reference/"
"The Functions runtime scans log files to watch for new or changed blobs. This process is not real-time;"
It is very inconvenience for me. I feel troublesome to use queue.
Amazon Lambda has storage event. They can notice real-time and very easy setting.

shared this idea
Azure Event Hub can now be used to accomplish real-time reactions to blob changes. Follow the instructions here to subscribe your event hub subscription to blob updates: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-blob-event-quickstart
Then, use the event hub trigger to execute your functions.
Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks Azure App Service Team.
Is Azure Event Hub meaning Event Grid ?
I will check it. -

Real time wasn't as big of a deal to me, but when I found out that this trigger is "best effort", meaning it's possible the function may never fire it made the feature useless to me. I plan to just use queues instead.

Good feedback. We definitely are investigating making more events push based. Stay tuned :)
