We'll have more docs and guidelines on this coming out. Overall, its the same limitations as App Service, if you're familiar with that. We don't have phatomjs working out of the box today, but it's something I'd like to see. Not sure where it will fall on our roadmap. Feel free to file and issue and we can track it there. https://github.com/Azure/azure-webjobs-sdk-script

Whoops. I just added that to my profile. We don't have any current plans for that. Feel free to file a feature request. https://github.com/Azure/azure-webjobs-sdk-script

Slight correction, F# support is broken right now. But its being fixed as we speak :) https://github.com/Azure/azure-webjobs-sdk-script/pull/203

And event hubs? Based on https://github.com/Azure/azure-webjobs-sdk-script/tree/maste... I assume it's also coming soon?

I was waiting for this question to get asked here. :) We don't have any official plans, but because we're open source, you can take a look at how we're doing things and think about adding it yourself later on. We'll have some contributor guidelines up soon. We're going to try to clean up the code and write down a bunch of dev/test guidance this month. https://github.com/Azure/azure-webjobs-sdk-script/wiki

It's possible today and we'll make it easier over the next two months. https://github.com/Azure/azure-webjobs-sdk-script/wiki

We should have some more docs on this coming soon, but it's a work in progress, honestly. We think there are too many steps to get it going locally today. You can read more on how to setup the Host here: https://github.com/Azure/azure-webjobs-sdk-script/wiki

1. We should have Service Bus support in the next month or so. You can see a sample of it in progress here: https://github.com/Azure/azure-webjobs-sdk-script/tree/maste... 2. You can access the file system and all your functions share the same files because we're using a network file share.

It's on the road map, yes. There is already an experimental support for it but it needs a lot more polishing https://github.com/Azure/azure-webjobs-sdk-script/blob/807cf...

I replied to you below. Mostly it's a time thing. We built this thing in under 90 days. We should have support for F# soon, based on our C# implementation. We're using a pipeline for C# which we think F# should just drop into. (You can see our C# implementation here: https://github.com/Azure/azure-webjobs-sdk-script/blob/maste...)

Great questions. 1. We have experimental support for a few other languages (F#, Python, PHP, Batch, etc.). We'll be improving those as we get more customer input on how it should work and we have time to do it. You can track our progress and post issues here: https://github.com/Azure/azure-webjobs-sdk-script 2. We have a service known as Azure API Management which can do that and we're working to integrate first class support for Functions into it. Today, you can manually construct a Swagger with Functions for API Management, but we want to make it even easier in the near future. 3. Monitoring can be done via the Monitoring tab in the portal. We have logs and a streaming realtime view. They are VERY early and you'll see big progress for those views in the next two months.
