The main reason why I was looking for an Azure function visualizer was to better understand the sequence in which functions call or invoke each other. While the tool in its current state helps with that, there are still some important drawbacks I would like to address:

  • Logical ordering: Functions are currently sorted (alphabetically) by their inputs. If a function func1 is triggered by QueueB and writes to QueueA, while func2 is triggered by QueueA and writes to QueueC, func2 is still displayed above func1, even though the logical sequence of execution that could be deduced is the opposite.
  • Horizontal arrangements: If a logical sequence is to be detected (see above), why not display func2 on the right of func1. I would suggest using shared in- and outputs (in my case, queues) as central nodes, that are shared between functions. It would then look something like this:
