Function App Stopped, but still processing

Question

Hello,

Maybe I'm missing a concept here but I did stop my function App in the portal (Dev in c# VS2017).

It contains 3 Storage Queue Triggers. But I still can see messages going off the queue and data coming into our DW. So somewhere it is still running.

How can I really stop it so that I can upload a new version. No data will be lost as the queue's would grow...

Kind regards, harry

(Edited. I've noticed that almost 6min after my 'Stop' on the portal the function really stopped).

Nevertheless, some hints on why would be appreciated, was this really buffering so many calls ?

Answer 1

Stopping a function app in the portal is an asynchronous operation, so some delay is expected. Six minutes feels a bit long though. Is it possible that your app may have been very widely scaled out? Also, do you know if messages were being consumed at the same rate as before, or was it at a smaller rate?

If you can share your function app name (or some other identifier we can look up) and a time in UTC where you experienced this issue, we can take a look in our telemetry to see what might be going on.

Just again, stopped but even 10 minutes later still processing messages on the Storage Queue ..
