Azure Function called from web app completes, but no response is received

Question

I have an Azure Function which is writing to a storage table; the call completes successfully and responds with:

context.res { 
   result: 200, body: {}
}
return;

My Azure web app makes the call as

await axios.post(....)

The post call never completes, even though the Azure Function exits and responds. At the end I get

504.0 GatewayTimeout

Apparently below is what needed. Just setting context.res is not enough, empty return is not enough.

return { 
   status: 200, body: {}
}
