Public preview: Azure Functions support for HTTP streams in Python

Azure Functions support for HTTP streams in Python is now in preview. With this feature, customers can stream HTTP requests to and responses from their Function Apps, using function exposed FastAPI request and response APIs. Previously with HTTP requests, the amount of data that could be transmitted was limited at the SKU instance memory size. With HTTP streaming, large amounts of data can be processed with chunking. This feature enables new scenarios including processing large data streaming OpenAI responses and delivering dynamic content. You can leverage this feature for use cases where real time exchange and interaction between client and server over HTTP connections is needed. Additionally, FastAPI response types are supported with this feature.
