Question

A municipal IT backlog lists three needs: nightly cleanup at 01:00, a partner system that POSTs incidents, and a reaction when a monitored queue message appears. How should the team map Azure Functions triggers?

Accepted Answer

Map nightly cleanup to a timer, the partner POST to an HTTP webhook trigger, and the queue work to a Queue Storage (data-operation) trigger — Match the doorbell to the knock: timer for night cleanup, HTTP for the partner’s POST, queue trigger when messages show up. Three needs, three trigger families—not one orchestration hammer.

Answer

Use one Durable orchestration for all three so trigger choice does not matter

Answer

Implement all three as Logic Apps only, because Functions cannot host timers or HTTP

Answer

Use only Blob triggers for every scenario regardless of the event source
