@findajay I'm not super familiar with Cloud Native Azure functions. Could you add details here about your use case, what behaviour you're looking for, and what an application might look like?

@sophiewigmore Here is a sample of app which is exactly I am using https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-dotnet-worker/tree/main/samples/FunctionApp .... Just need to create a container image for this app using Paketo Buildpack for .NetCore.

@sophiewigmore As Serverless functions has become popular in cloud development, I am sure this will be a super urgent requirement for many. Could you consider it in your internal discussion as a new feature support? Thanks.

What are you currently doing now to support this workflow? Do you use Dockerfiles?

We had a community-led Go Function buildpack (RFC here). Although I'm not sure if it ever ended up being implemented by the author, this idea could serve as a good example for another initiative, like this one. I don't know if we would officially adopt this as a part of our core team priorities, until we have heard more data points from the community on how needed this specific use-case would be, so I am interested to hear if there are others with a similar need.

We are kind of blocked......trying to use Dockerfiles with zip deployment, which is not very nice and breaks our infra automation flow.

@findajay I haven't had time to look deeper at this myself, I had some other buildpack related issues to deal with. However, I have reached out, to see if I can find more help on this issue. Please continue to hold!
