" summary

Explains how Azure serverless actually behaves: use Azure Functions with event queues to move from a single prototype function to a resilient pipeline of seven functions, each billed per execution so prototypes can be free and spikes affordable. Calls out limits: 10 minute execution cap on consumption plan, Event Grid retries for up to 24 hours with potential silent message loss, and costly Cosmos DB if misused. Shows a working Arduino demo and tradeoffs between cold starts, SLA gaps, and vendor lock-in.
