      Its a good point but both Functions and Cognitive Services are free beneath a certain threshold and very cheap beyond that. The problem with something like ImageResizer is that you need to write and manager more code, plus there is no .net core version yet

        yes, you right, but what do mean by "plus there is no .net core version yet" !!did you mean that only Azure Functions are referenced only on .Net Core !! if yes, you are wrong, we can use Full .NET, plus you can find some examples use ImageResizer instead of Cognitive Services

    Thanx for article, I really like this approach, But its expansive. We must pay for two services her !!Use a Framework to resize images (like ImageResizer) instead of Cognitive Service (Computer Vision API).
