How can we improve Microsoft Azure Functions?

← Azure Functions

Add C++ support for Azure Functions

Allow C++ binaries to contains Azure Functions. It could be done by invoking the main in an executable, or a DLL with a specific export method with predefined signature.

C++ allows to control memory usage and allow users to be incredibly fast when used properly. In an environment where scaling is needed, squeezing a few seconds of CPU or lowering a few KB of RAM can translate to hundreds or thousands of dollars in savings.

If memory leaks are a concern, putting aside the fact that C# code can also leak, you could create fail safes for Azure Functions. A manifest file that says how much RAM or CPU usage the function is allowed, if the threshold is surpassed, then the function fails and is aborted, or something like that.
