Azure Functions vs WebJobs
Both [[azure-functions]] and [[Azure App Service WebJobs]] are built on top of [[azure-app-service]].
They both support integrations with [[application-insights]].
Azure Functions is built on the WebJobs SDK, so it shares many of the same event triggers and connections to other Azure services.
Azure Functions offers more developer productivity than Azure App Service WebJobs does. It also offers more options for programming languages, development environments, Azure service integration, and pricing.

|---|---|---|
| Serverless app model with automatic scaling | Yes | No |
| Develop and test in browser | Yes | No |
