Is there a difference between “Platform 32-bit” or “Platform 64-bit” for Azure features?

When I create the Azure functions, it will set the platform to “32-bit platform”. However, I usually install ASP.NET MVC, OWIN, or any other projects as 64-bit.

32-bit platform by default

I am wondering with "What is the difference with 32-bit or 64-bit Azure functions" ?

I guess these are effects using the NuGet Package link and memory allocation. However, since Azure features are only available for assignment up to 1536 MB, so 32-bit or 64-bit effects will have no effect at all.

Is there any specific reason or recommendation to install 64-bit? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I would not suggest switching the Function workflow to 64 bits. It will not work better, and memory usage will ultimately be higher (as always for 64 bit). In addition, at that moment the functions were tested only in 32-bit mode, so you may encounter some unexpected problems in the 64-bit version.

Update (2/6/2017): see this question for the latter, as well as https://github.com/projectkudu/AzureFunctionsPortal/issues/894 .
