Is it possible to create a queue triggered azure function with queue name pattern or for multiple queues?

I am developing a queue triggered azure function. Also I am very new to it. Following is the configuration of my "function.json" file:

{
  "disabled": false,
  "bindings": [
    {
      "name": "myQueueItem",
      "type": "queueTrigger",
      "direction": "in",
      "queueName": "testqueue-1",
      "connection": "MyQueueTriggeredConnectionString"
    }
  ]
}

My function is working fine. It is triggered for all entries in "testqueue-1" queue.

now I have few questions:

  1. Can I give multiple queue name in "queueName" parameter?

  2. Can I give some naming pattern in "queueName" paramener. Like we can give pattern in "path" parameter in blob triggered function: "path": "input/{name1}~123~{name2}"

  3. If I do 10 entries in my queue. Will all entries execute simultaneously? or one by one? If it is simultaneously, How can I make it one by one?

Also if possible. please share some useful links that can help me to understand queue triggered azure in better way.

Thanks,

Although the question is not super elaborate I will try to answer what I think you want to know;

Can I give multiple queue name in "queueName" parameter? No. And it really doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to have for example two queues trigger the same function. Why not just define a parameter on your queue message to define the client? For example a jSON? Otherwise you will have to be creating queues for each client. What a nightmare.

Can I give some naming pattern in "queueName" parameter. Like we can give pattern in "path" parameter in blob triggered function: "path": "input/{name1}~123~{name2}" No. Once again that's not what queue binding is for. Pass parameters on the message.

If I do 10 entries in my queue. Will all entries execute simultaneously? or one by one? If it is simultaneously, How can I make it one by one? You can define this on your host.json file. Check the documentation here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-host-json

If you want to make it one by one you can define singleton or, although still not fully supported, set WEBSITE_MAX_DYNAMIC_APPLICATION_SCALE_OUT to 1 in you application settings.
