What are the two primary parts that make up an Azure Function?

The two primary parts that make up an Azure Function are Triggers and Bindings. Triggers are essential as they initiate the execution of the function, responding to events such as an HTTP request, a timer, or other Azure services like Blob storage or queues. This allows the function to execute in response to specific events, making it event-driven.

Bindings, on the other hand, are used to declare specific input and output data for the function. They provide a way to work with external services and data sources without dealing directly with the connection and serialization/deserialization logic. For example, an output binding can send data to a storage account, while an input binding can fetch data from an API or resource.

Together, Triggers and Bindings simplify the development of serverless applications by abstracting the connection details and allowing developers to focus on writing the function's core logic. This separation of concerns enhances code maintainability and reduces the complexity often associated with managing external services.
