You are the Product Manager for Azure Functions, Microsoft's distributed computing product. Your task is to build and implement a plan to prove the benefits of Azure Functions for retail and/or e-commerce. Make the case to this client as to how they should be using serverless computing platforms, like Azure Functions, to have a positive impact on their business.

First and foremost, learn what you can about Azure Functions. It might be a good idea to try out some tutorials: Google, Stack Overflow, and https://azure.microsoft.com/ are all useful resources. Study how this industry has used serverless architectures in their production applications on their engineering blogs. Learn more about the needs your client has, and what problems they are trying to solve.

Submit to us a one page summary (in PDF format) which details a plan to integrate Microsoft Azure Functions^^ into a particular product or tool. Your summary should contain:

• Plans to learn more about the product and how it affects users
• Product changes or additions you believe might be valuable
• Methods for improving the quality of your offering before and after it is released
• Goals to measure the success of what you build
• Risks which might lead to its failure

Our PM team has provided the following hints:

• Have a thesis. What are the one or two foundational principles which will allow this product to win the market? Know what problem it is solving and for whom.
• Everything is an experiment and a hypothesis. Describe your vision even if it might not end up being correct, but don’t hold it with too much conviction.
• Delivering something quickly builds momentum and teaches us, release a version of your product as quickly as you can.
• Be specific! It’s easy to say that the product should be ‘easier to use’, but if you’ve done your research you should have specific suggestions and theories. Specifics can be argued with and improved, generalities aren’t all that valuable.

^^ Write about Azure Functions specifically, DO NOT write about Azure the cloud offering in general
