Azure Functions Flex Consumption GA — Pay Per Execution with Always-Ready Instances
Azure Functions Flex Consumption is now GA — combines serverless pay-per-execution with optional always-ready instances. Pricing: $0.000016/vCPU-s and $0.0000000016/MB-s. Cheaper than Premium plan for variable workloads.
TCOIQ: Flex Consumption fills the gap between Consumption (cheap but cold starts) and Premium (warm but expensive). For functions needing consistent sub-second response: use 1-2 always-ready instances at ~$15/month vs Premium EP1 at $151/month. Saves 90% for applications with moderate traffic.
