In order to complete this recipe, we need to have a function app with the following:
- An HTTP trigger named HttpALive
- A timer trigger named KeepFunctionAppWarm that runs every 5 minutes and makes an HTTP request to the HttpALive HTTP trigger
If you have clearly understood what a cold start is, then it will be clear to you that there would be no concerns if your application had traffic regularly during the day. So, if we can ensure that the application has traffic all day, then the Azure Function instance will not be deprovisioned and so there wouldn't be any concerns about the Consumption plan.
