To use serverless on Azure.
Create a new Azure Functions project using the CLI.
# Install tools
npm install -g azure-functions-core-tools@4
# Initialize project (Node.js/TypeScript)
func init MyFunctionProj --typescript
cd MyFunctionProj
# Create a specific function (HTTP Trigger)
func new --name MyHttpTrigger --template "HTTP trigger" --authlevel "anonymous"
Edit function.json (or use decorators in v4+) to define how the function is invoked.
// v4 Node.js model (index.ts)
import { app, HttpRequest, HttpResponseInit, InvocationContext } from "@azure/functions";
export async function MyHttpTrigger(request: HttpRequest, context: InvocationContext): HttpResponseInit {
context.log(`Http function processed request for url "${request.url}"`);
const name = request.query.get('name') || await request.text() || 'world';
return { body: `Hello, ${name}!` };
};
app.http('MyHttpTrigger', {
methods: ['GET', 'POST'],
authLevel: 'anonymous',
handler: MyHttpTrigger
});
Run the function locally before deploying.
npm start
# Function will be available at http://localhost:7071/api/MyHttpTrigger
Deploy to Azure using the CLI or GitHub Actions.
# Via CLI
func azure functionapp publish <FunctionAppName>
A serverless function deployed to Azure that responds to triggers (HTTP, Timer, Queue) without managing underlying server infrastructure.

development
Apply lean thinking to UX: hypothesis-driven design, collaborative sketching, and rapid experiments instead of heavy deliverables. Use when the user mentions "Lean UX", "design hypothesis", "UX experiment", "collaborative design", or "outcome over output". Covers hypothesis statements, MVPs for UX, and cross-functional collaboration. For Build-Measure-Learn, see lean-startup. For usability audits, see ux-heuristics.
development
Design MVPs, validated learning experiments, and pivot-or-persevere decisions using Build-Measure-Learn. Use when the user mentions "MVP scope", "validated learning", "pivot or persevere", "vanity metrics", or "test assumptions". Covers innovation accounting and actionable metrics. For 5-day prototype testing, see design-sprint. For customer motivation analysis, see jobs-to-be-done.
