Azure WebJobs - Can I use Async Methods?

Question

I was wondering if the Azure WebJobs SDK can trigger async methods? Currently I have a method that looks like the following:

class Program
{
    static void Mai         


        

Answer 1

Async is now supported. See the blog post here.

Unfortunately, the short answer to both questions is: not supported.

(slightly) longer answer:

WebJobs SDK does not support async methods. If you look in the execution log (on the dashboard) you will see a warning saying that async functions (functions that return Task or Task<>) are executed synchronously.

We don't support the local emulator. You have to use a real Storage Account when developing.

Answer 2

With the passage of time, the answer is now, yes, you can!
