NodeJs project as a Azure WebJob

Question

What is process to upload NodeJs project as Azure WebJob from Visual Studio.

I want to upload my nodeJs Project to azure as a WebJob from visual studio with out a WebAPP I am not able to find any blogs or articles to progress further.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

There is an offical tutorial Deploy WebJobs using Visual Studio which you can refer to, but the deployment is within a WebApp.

However, I discovered a new preview feature Azure WebJobs as Api App on Azure new portal. I think it seems to satisfy your needs, please see and try at the link .

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

This question is problematic, WebJobs run always in the context of a WebApp, that's what they are designed for.

In the meantime Microsoft published Azure Functions https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/functions/ which can do mostly the same and more, only problem is you'll be developing more functional (haha) as global objects/settings/environment variables aren't accessible (because there is no WebApp context).
