I'll be speaking at VSLive! Las Vegas (March 16 - 20) about building AI Agents with Azure Functions, and securing your cloud applications. Now’s a great time to register - take $500 off through Dec. 19 with speaker code Almeida. Hope to see you there! vslive.com/lasvegas

Today @nzthiago and I gave a live .NET Day talk on the Durable Task extension for Microsoft Agent Framework. I covered the role durable execution plays in agentic workflows and we demoed an agentic trip planner app in Azure Functions with .NET. youtu.be/_UhRNW6HL6Y?si=Nk3G…

Looking forward to presenting at .NET Day next week with @cgillum about the new Durable Task Extension for Microsoft Agent Framework devblogs.microsoft.com/dotne…

Azure Functions Durable Task Scheduler is now GA and Consumption in Public Preview. A high-performance, reliable, and scalable backend for Durable Functions or apps leveraging the Durable Task SDKs. Learn more here: aka.ms/dts-ga-blog

Showed a few Azure Functions Flex Consumption demos last week at @azuredevsummit including an event hubs triggered .NET function app with a Python based even generator. It's a great way to show tens of thousands of events per second processed: github.com/nzthiago/AzureDev…

🚀 Early preview: Bring-Your-Own Remote MCP Server on Azure Functions! Keep your existing Python/Node/.NET MCP code and just host remotely on Flex Consumption plan w/ bursty, event-driven scaling, built-in security & serverless pricing. Try it now! aka.ms/BYO-remote-mcp #MCP

I am looking forward to the Azure Dev Summit in Lisbon this October - this will be an awesome conf with a cloud-focused agenda and workshops. I will be talking about real-world architecture patterns with Azure Functions azuredevsummit.com/ - See you there!

(1/3) Meet @nzthiago, PM for Serverless at @Microsoft and #VSLive! @ Microsoft HQ speaker. Thiago, a former Microsoft MVP, has worked on a variety of companies as a #developer, architect and team leader building applications and experiences.

A man cannot prompt the same model twice, for it is not the same model, and he is not the same man

Ready to unlock more flexibility in your Azure Functions? Our new self-guided migration guide helps you move from Consumption to Flex Consumption step-by-step. Start your journey here: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/az… #AzureFunctions #Serverless

🚀 Ever wondered how we test Azure Functions at scale? Check out our latest blog on how we built PerfBench to push the limits of throughput testing - across SKUs, runtimes, and regions - with thousands of test runs per month. techcommunity.microsoft.com/… #AzureFunctions #Serverless

The expansion you were waiting for is finally here 🌍 - Azure Functions Flex Consumption is now enabled and generally available in West Europe and many other regions! 🚀 az functionapp list-flexconsumption-locations --query "sort_by(@, &name)[].{Region:name}" -o table

Remote MCP servers are becoming a game changer for extending LLMs. Now you have a easy way to build them and run in the cloud using Azure Functions, which has all the benefits like being serverless, high scale, event driven, vnet and multi language, and run anywhere. Please try the QuickStarts and let us know what you think ! Https://aka.ms/mcp-remote youtu.be/U9DsLcP5vEk?si=KqiA… youtu.be/XwnEtZxaokg?si=khfx…

Azure Container Apps Serverless GPUs are now GA! Seamlessly run your AI workloads on-demand with automatic scaling, optimized cold start, per-second billing, and reduced operational overhead. This GA also adds support for NVIDIA NIM microservices. aka.ms/serverlessGPU

Customers have been asking us to make it easier to automatically generate embeddings on their data in @AzureCosmosDB and @AzureFunctions So, we created this: devblogs.microsoft.com/cosmo… See how to use a Cosmos DB Trigger & Output binding in Functions to do it automatically.

This was a great session on .NET Aspire and Azure Functions, check it out: youtu.be/IQ3gtODpVYM?si=xDfb…

Had a great time at @TechoramaNL presenting about serverless at scale with @AzureFunctions, great conference!
