Microsoft recently announced its Function as a Service (FaaS) offering Azure Functions now supports Node.js 14 and .NET 5. Developers can develop and deploy function applications leveraging the latest long-term supported (LTS) version of Node.js and the latest version of .NET.
The simultaneous release of both runtimes further evolves the Microsoft Faas offering. Developers can benefit from:
- Node.js 14, bringing more features such as Nullish coalescing and Optional chaining operator, Internationalization and Diagnostic reporting APIs, and ECMAScript modules
- .NET 5 introducing a new isolated process model that runs .NET function apps in a separate worker process outside the Azure Functions host runtime
