Manual Scaling of Azure Functions

If we expect our web application to handle an increased volume of incoming connections and requests, we need to scale it. There are two types of scaling, which are outlined below:

• Vertical scaling, also known as scaling up and scaling down. We scale our application up by allocating more computational hardware to its host system. We scale the application down by downgrading the hardware to save costs.

• Horizontal scaling, also known as scaling out and scaling in. We scale an application out when we make more replicas of it so the incoming load can be distributed between them. We scale in the application by reducing the number of replicas when the volume of incoming ...
