Integrated support for Azure Functions projects in Visual Studio including being able to execute and test locally.

Outside of out of the box providers like facebook and google, provide samples and guidance on how to authenticate with others like LinkedIn.

Functions often need password, API keys, and connection strings to connect to other services and retrieve data. It would be great if those secrets could easily be obtained from Key Vault.

Azure Functions is awesome! I'd like to propose for more convenience.
Currently, Storage blob triggers do NOT support real-time. Because write at
"https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/functions-reference/"

"The Functions runtime scans log files to watch for new or changed blobs. This process is not real-time;"

It is very inconvenience for me. I feel troublesome to use queue.

Amazon Lambda has storage event. They can notice real-time and very easy setting.

It would be great to have out-of-the-box integration with Application Insights. The Invocation log is ok but Application Insights much better.

How I see it:
- HTTP requests as Request telemetry
- TraceWriter.Info/Warning/Verbose as Custom Event
- TraceWriter.Error as Exception
- Input/Outputs as Dependency calls

The instrumentation key and other related configs could be placed in the host.json:
{
"applicationInsights": {
"instrumentationKey": "6e82db88-1d7b-411b-84cc-818cf195a91f",
"maxTelemetryItemsPerSecond": "10",
"telemetryModules": [
"Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.DependencyCollector.DependencyTrackingTelemetryModule",
"Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Web.ExceptionTrackingTelemetryModule"
],
"telemetryInitializers":[
"Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Web.ClientIpHeaderTelemetryInitializer",
"Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Web.OperationNameTelemetryInitializer"
]
}
}

I'd like to be able to call other functions via an internal "ID" and worst case not to have to go back out to the internet and then come back in to Azure to call another function.

It would be useful to have a form of DI in our C# Functions, so we can consistently inject things like our logger class, or other Autofac DI services, into every C# Function we create.

I'd like to create a SDK package which developers can import into their Function and get access to some common functionality via DI, to remove boilerplate redundancy.

Any solution for this kind of thing?

Please support writing TypeScript in Azure Functions when you're creating Node functions

It would be great to see an *outgoing* HTTP Request as an output type. Currently, the HTTP output is only the response object back to the caller. I can see the need and desire to output to other custom API's, perhaps that perform functionality that isn't currently captured in the existing outputs, such as Azure Automation/Application Insights/My Custom SAP API.

would be great if Azure functions would support Hybrid connections like other Web Apps. this intro blog says it does: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/introducing-azure-functions/
but I cannot find it anywhere since the networking tab is not available in settings in the app.

The javascript runtime provides a "context" object that is referenced to include things like parameters, bindings, and the 'done' reporting mechanism.

For simplicity and consistency purposes, I'd expect to see this across languages.

Currently only 32 bit functions supported.

It would be great to have high-level monitoring available that visualizes all the functions in an instance, similar to how Azure Data Factory does it in the Monitor-feature.

Following information would be interesting:

- Failure rate per function
- Dependency metrics per binding, per function _(similar to AI Dependency)_
- Function state _(enabled/disabled)_
- ...

When creating a new function I'd like to start from an existing function I already created.

In my particular case I have a function where I've uploaded multiple additional files (python modules) and each function will need the same files, but today I have to re-upload them all.

Currently the queue/subscription trigger only works with queues and subscriptions that does not use sessions (RequiresSession = false). It would be very useful if the runtime would detect that sessions are enabled and adapt accordingly. As far as I can see, the actual function code would not even have to be aware.

Azure functions are great, but a lot of application logic is driven by data in SQL Azure DBs. It would be great to have a trigger based on a SQL Azure row data.
