AWS Lambda Web Functions (launched Oct 2026) map partly to Azure Container Apps and Azure App Service. Azure has no function-branded equivalent; the nearest serverless option is Container Apps with scale to zero.
- Lambda Web Functions run Node.js 24 apps on Arm64 (at launch), deployed as .zip. Each environment serves multiple concurrent requests, billed on active CPU and memory, with built-in multi-Region latency routing.
- Container Apps runs any container image with HTTP scaling and scale to zero. App Service runs code or containers on always-on plan instances. Multi-region needs Front Door on Azure.
- Azure Functions custom handlers can wrap a web server, but they still use the Functions host and trigger model.
