When I create Azure Functions, it will set "Platform 32-bit" for default. However I normally set ASP.NET MVC, OWIN or any other projects as 64bit.
I'm wondering with "What the difference with 32-bit or 64-bit for Azure Functions"?
I guess this effects with NuGet Package reference and Memory allocation. However as Azure Functions can only available to assign up to 1536 MB, therefore 32-bit or 64-bit would be no effects at all.
Is there any definite reason or recommendation to set 64-bit? Any advice will be very much appreciated.
I would not suggest switching the Functions worker process to 64 bit. It will not run any better, and the memory usage will end up being higher (as it always is for 64 bit). Also, at this point Functions has only been tested in 32 bit mode so you may run into some unexpected issues in 64 bit.
