Azure Functions: Less-Server and More Code
@tartufella: that is a great point! I purposefully did not worry about concurrency in this case because it is my link shortener so I don't plan to be concurrent with myself, but absolutely something to think about in the bigger picture. However, concurrency is handled by the Table Storage in my understanding. When the NextId is loaded, there is a unique concurrency identifier in it (that's why we inherit from the TableEntity class) and this is sent back in the update operation. If the timestamp on the entity in storage has changed, it will throw an exception. So I don't believe you can actually end up with duplicate short URLs unless you explicitly disable the concurrency check. If you haven't already, great description in this doc: Managing Concurrency in Microsoft Azure Table Storage.
