Getting Started: Benzene on Azure

The Azure Functions getting-started guide lives at Azure Functions Setup — it starts from an empty folder and ends with a deployed isolated-worker Function App handling HTTP plus every non-HTTP trigger (Event Hubs, Kafka, Service Bus, Cosmos DB Change Feed, Queue/Blob Storage, Event Grid, Timer).

For consuming Azure messaging in a long-running process without Azure Functions (console app, container, AKS), see the self-hosted workers in Worker Service Setup, Part B (Service Bus, Event Hubs, and Cosmos DB Change Feed).

Related Azure cookbooks:

• Managed Identity & RBAC — run every Azure integration with no connection strings
• Service Bus Message Handling
• Event Hub Stream Processing
• Cosmos DB Change Feed Processing

This page exists so the family-consistent getting-started-azure URL resolves; the canonical guide is azure-functions.
