Answer 1

You can use the AZURE_FUNCTIONS_ENVIRONMENT environment variable, which is set automatically in local development:

Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_FUNCTIONS_ENVIRONMENT"); // set to "Development" locally

Note that when deployed/published (i.e. Azure), you'd need to set the environment variable yourself (e.g. function app settings in Azure).
