Important Note - You are responsible for your Azure bill
Serverless solutions like Azure Function Apps are often touted as a low-cost solution—and they mostly are. However, please be aware that any costs incurred in your Azure account are your responsibility as the account owner to monitor and pay for.
Azure Function Apps are generally billed based on several factors, including but not limited to the number of function executions, the duration of the function execution, and the memory consumption of the function. Additionally, there are storage-related costs for storing your function code, along with other Azure resources that may be used when your function is executed.
