Consumption Plan

A Consumption Plan is a way cloud services, like Azure Functions, charge you based on the actual amount of resources you use—such as execution time and number of events—rather than a fixed fee. This model automatically scales resources up or down depending on your application's needs, providing flexibility and cost-efficiency. It’s ideal for unpredictable or variable workloads because you only pay for what you use, making it a cost-effective choice for many applications without the need to manage or provision dedicated infrastructure.
