TypeScript, and by extension JavaScript, has been supported in Azure Functions since version 1, but the programming model never felt "right" as a JavaScript dev. It didn't follow established patterns, such as how to use packages, Function registration/discovery, or it just looked radically different to web server frameworks.

The team decided to tackle this in the v4 release, and Aaron Powell joined as an advisor to them. Over the course of several months, they stubbed out different prototypes and gained feedback on what would be a programming model that would be best suited to the needs of developers building serverless applications today.

Take a look behind the scenes of how it all came together, and what Microsoft has done to make it easier to build serverless applications with Azure Functions.
