Azure Web Jobs is a way to invoke scripts or applications under your Azure App Service Context. Which means you don't need to provision a VM or other services. One example is the image resize for the images that are uploaded via your website. You can have an image resize utility running under the same Azure App Service where your website is running (or different) and that utility can resize the images as soon as they are uploaded.

There are two primary main types of Webjobs - Triggered and Continuous.

Azure provides an SDK for web jobs which makes its super easy to integrate with Azure services like EventGrid, Event hub, Send Grid, Azure Blobs, Azure Queues, Cosmos Db etc.

Azure web jobs SDK has two main concepts to achieve integration with other services - Triggers and Bindings.

Bindings: It provides your the capability to integrate with other services primarily categorizing into Input Bindings and Output Bindings.
