Azure Functions deployment and troubleshooting complexity

7/10 High

Azure Functions have poor documentation focusing on GUI-based VSCode approaches. Infrastructure-as-code provisioning requires understanding undocumented file structure requirements scattered across 300+ screenshots. Troubleshooting is difficult due to the .NET runtime abstraction.

Query: “What are the most common pain points with Azure for developers in 2025?”4/7/2026

Functions are the worst thing I always had to deal with. It's weird... it's some kind of .net runtime running somewhere. Most if not ALL Function documentation revolves around clickety click bullshit with VSCode. Say you want to provision with terraform you need to pack a zip file with the exact file structure explained from instructions buried among 300 screenshots of VSCode guides. Its also a pain in the ass to troubleshoot.
