Public Preview: Azure Functions Kafka trigger support in Consumption plan
Kafka Extension for Azure Functions in Consumption plan is now in public preview. This extension enables you to detect and respond to real time messages streaming into Kafka Topics, or write to a Kafka Topic through the output binding. You can now focus on your Azure Function’s logic without worrying about the event-sourcing pipeline or maintaining infra to host the extension. This extension is now supported when hosting functions in the Consumption plan, enabling it to elastically scale and trigger on Kafka messages.
