This where Azure and the Microsoft ecosystem is pretty far ahead from a developer experience standpoint. I’m not an MS fanboy by any stretch but VS Code, Azure Functions, and even local storage emulation with Azurite is pretty slick. First time I played with it my background was very far from anything in this space (literally first time I used node) and I had a completely locally developed toy function with storage up and running in maybe 30 minutes. Then in a few clicks it was deployed and running in Azure. All in less time than it took for me to wander through the AWS docs and console to even figure out which product to use.
