Description

The Redis extension for Azure Functions is now generally available. The extension can be used as a trigger in Azure Functions, allowing Redis to initiate a serverless workflow. This functionality can be highly useful in data architectures like a write-behind cache, or any event-based architectures.

The Redis extension also supports Azure Functions input and output bindings. The input binding facilitates data retrieval from a cache, and this retrieved data can be passed into a function as an input parameter. The output binding allows users to change keys in a cache.
