Azure
First class support for Scala
It is possible, and not too difficult, to run Scala on Azure Functions using the Java Worker with a little bit of tweaking of how the project builds in sbt or maven to produce a fat jar. It would be amazing if MSFT could offer documentation and volcalize support for Scala and perhaps other JVM based languages. Currently, there is no mention of Scala in any of the Azure Functions documentation.
@monteledwards thanks for filing the feature request! We'll keep this issue open to gauge traction from the community and get more input on the types of scenarios folks are hoping to accomplish with serverless Scala support.
No problem, @asavaritayal.
For those that are interested in testing Scala in Functions until there's support, I'll leave my blog post here - https://monteledwards.com/2018/10/07/deploying-scala-code-on-azure-functions/

I'd love official Scala support. I think Scala is a great language for building micro-services, and Azure Functions is a great platform for them.

I'd like to see support!
It would allow us to have a full scala pipeline in Azure, Azure functions -> EventHub -> Databricks
@asavaritayal Is this still the best forum for voicing support of the capability?
@asavaritayal I'd like to see the support as well. Azure is missing out on real $$ by not doing so.
Currently evaluating moving to Azure and I would also like to see this feature. It seems like scala jars work fine with azure functions, it's just that there's some extra complication in terms of build and deployment.
It would be a nice add to azure the scala support. I would use it for sure. Just thinking on update my scala to java code to use azure functions make me sad and evaluate other options
As @monty-dev's blog post and repo are down, I have created an updated simple example here.
What complications have you encountered, @blavigne13?
Looking unlikely, but I'd like to see support. I wonder if it's worth attempting to support this by building a giter8 template or something instead... so Scala users could do something like sbt new azure/azure-function.g8.
