Azure Functions, Microsoft's platform for serverless applications, has long supported a variety of programming languages, but today adds an important one: Java. The company made this announcement at the JavaOne conference in San Francisco.
As Microsoft notices in today's announcement, Java support was one of the top feature requests for Azure Functions since it launched. This is the first time that Microsoft also supports a new language in Azure Functions. So far, the service only supports JavaScript, C #, F #, Python, PHP, Bash, Batch and PowerShell. It's not so much that Java programmers can do something that these other languages do, but they reach the business - a market that clearly targets Microsoft with Azure Functions - without supporting it, means that a large number of Developers were essentially excluded from their use.
Microsoft emphasizes that Java developers will not have to learn new tools to use Azure Functions. Microsoft also provides a Maven plugin that allows developers to write and implement their Maven-enabled programs directly to Azure Functions.
