There's a new programming model available for Node.js Azure Functions known as v4. There's documentation out there for how to migrate JavaScript Azure Functions from v3 to v4, but at the time of writing, TypeScript wasn't covered.

This post fills in the gaps for a TypeScript Azure Function. It's probably worth mentioning that my blog is an Azure Static Web App with a TypeScript Node.js Azure Functions back end. So, this post is based on my experience migrating my blog to v4.

I wrote previously about how to implement a dynamic redirect mechanism for Azure Static Web Apps using Azure Functions. I implemented this using JSDoc JavaScript. I've since migrated this to TypeScript and I thought it would be interesting to share the process.

Application Insights are a great way to monitor Azure Static Web Apps and Azure Functions. But how do you deploy that using Bicep? Let's find out!

Azure Static Web Apps can perform URL redirects using the routes section in the staticwebapp.config.json. However it is limited. This post will demonstrate dynamic URL redirects with Azure Functions.

Authorization in Azure Functions is impaired by an issue with Azure Static Web Apps linked to Azure Functions. Azure AD app role claims are not supplied to Azure Functions. This post will demonstrate a workaround.

VS Code's debugging mechanism for Azure Functions on Mac OS frequently breaks. This post documents an approach to get it working.

Azure Static Web Apps presently have an issue which blocks deployment of Azure Functions with the message "Failed to deploy the Azure Functions". This happens when the resource is tagged with an EnvironmentId tag and is discussed in this GitHub issue. There is a workaround which we will examine.

C# 9 has some amazing features. Azure Functions are have two modes: isolated and in-process. Whilst isolated supports .NET 5 (and hence C# 9), in-process supports .NET Core 3.1 (C# 8). This post shows how we can use C# 9 with in-process Azure Functions running on .NET Core 3.1.

The upgrade of Azure Functions from .NET Core 3.1 to .NET 5 is significant. There's an excellent guide for the general steps required to perform the upgrade. However there's a number of (unrelated) items which are not covered by that post:
