CloudFront Functions maps to Azure Front Door rule sets (no-code rules) and Front Door edge actions (custom JavaScript, in preview).
- Code. CloudFront Functions run JavaScript on viewer request and viewer response events, with sub-millisecond startup and an optional CloudFront KeyValueStore. Edge actions run JavaScript on client requests only during preview, with a 16 KB code limit and a 10 ms execution limit.
- No-code. Many CloudFront Functions use cases (redirects, header changes, URL rewrites) are handled on Azure by rule set actions without code.
- Maturity. CloudFront Functions is generally available. Edge actions was in preview when verified.
