> You don't have to share anything across apps.

You don't. You also do not have to share the same service plan with any other app service or function app. That's besides the point. The point is that Azure requires anyone who wants to run a god damned web service or even a single event handler to provision a bunch of infrastructure resources, just to be in a position to even consider deploying the thing.

I mean, you need to have both an Azure Service Plan and an Azure Storage Account to even consider deploying something serverless. Let that absurdity sink in.

In contrast, with AWS you just deploy the damned Lambda. That's it.

That is completely besides the point. It's irrelevant how any IaC offering turns any provisioning into a one-click affair. What's relevant is accidental complexity created by Azure for no reason at all. Go look at your ARM templates and count the number of resources you need to have there just to be able to run a single no-op event handler. It's stupid.
