Function storage triggers
Describe the solution you'd like The ability to trigger a function based on storage events, such as uploading or deleting of files on a bucket.
Why is this needed? What challenge will it help you solve? Please describe.
Processing files from blob events on sucessful upload or change/deletion is a very common workflow with some use cases being:
- File optimization on upload (e.g. images).
- Asynchronous processing of user submissions (reacting to a user uploading a file for processing).
Describe alternatives you've considered
Current alternatives would be to use queues and and a schedule with a fixed cadence for file processing. This would be fine for workloads that can be batch processed, but a direct trigger will be needed where more reactive processing is required. The batch processing alternative would also result in wasted compute time where no items are present to process.
