Azure SQL bindings .NET Worker

Welcome to the Azure SQL bindings .NET Worker Repository. The .NET Worker provides .NET 5 support in Azure Functions, introducing an Isolated Model, running as an out-of-process language worker that is separate from the Azure Functions runtime. This allows you to have full control over your application's dependencies as well as other new features like a middleware pipeline.

A .NET Isolated function app works differently than a .NET Core 3.1 function app. For .NET Isolated, you build an executable that imports the .NET Isolated language worker as a NuGet package. Your app includes a Program.cs that starts the worker.

Binding Model

.NET Isolated introduces a new binding model, slightly different from the binding model exposed in .NET Core 3 Azure Functions. More information can be found here. Please review our samples for usage information.

Middleware

The Azure Functions .NET Isolated supports middleware registration, following a model similar to what exists in ASP.NET and giving you the ability to inject logic into the invocation pipeline, pre and post function executions.
