Azure function concurrency

[apengwin]

I'm working with Azure functions. I've got a function triggered by a storage queue, where I put a large number of messages (O(1000)) in bursts. I want them all to execute in parallel, but I'm currently throttled by the batch size of 32.

The HTTP trigger offers unbounded paralleism, but I want to be able to invoke functions asynchronously. That is, I want to be able to run some code that triggers a function and continue, without waiting for an HTTP response. Is there any way to achieve the best of both worlds? To be able to invoke a function asynchronously, and have an unbounded number run in parallel?

Thanks!
