+Here is a summary of Azure Functions based on official Microsoft documentation:
+
+## What is Azure Functions?
+Azure Functions is a serverless compute service that enables you to run event-driven code without managing infrastructure. You write code in your preferred language—such as C#, Java, JavaScript, PowerShell, or Python—and Azure Functions handles the hosting, scaling, and maintenance for you. You pay only for the compute time you consume, making it cost-effective for many use cases.
+
+- **Official overview:** [What is Azure Functions?](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-overview)
+
+## Key Scenarios for Azure Functions
+Azure Functions supports a wide range of cloud application scenarios, including:
+
+- Processing file uploads from blob storage.
+- Real-time stream and event processing (IoT, analytics).
+- Executing AI and machine learning inference.
+- Running scheduled tasks or background jobs.
+- Building scalable web APIs with HTTP endpoints.
+- Orchestrating serverless workflows (using Durable Functions).
+- Responding to data or database changes.
+- Creating reliable message processing systems (with queues, Service Bus, Event Hubs).
+
+Read more about scenarios here: [Azure Functions scenarios](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-scenarios).
+
+## How It Works
+- **Triggers and Bindings:** Functions are executed by triggers (events like HTTP requests, file uploads, timers, etc.) and can use bindings to automatically interact with other Azure services.
+- **Coding:** Write only the code you need for business logic; Azure Functions integrates with IDEs like Visual Studio and VS Code for development and debugging.
+- **Monitoring:** Built-in integration with Azure Monitor and Application Insights.
+- **Hosting plans:** Choose serverless (Consumption plan), Premium, Dedicated, or deploy in custom containers.
+
+## Getting Started
+You can create your first Azure Function quickly using:
+
