AWS Lambda vs Azure Functions vs Google Cloud Functions
Here is an aggregation of all serverless features provided by different cloud vendors. This is based on my perspective.
If anything has changed over a period of time or you want to add anything new, please feel free to comment and lets maintain this to track various features.

Few updates (2/18/2017):
There's now a serverless framework that supports cloud provider agnostic code and provides a unified experience for developing, testing and deploying your functions using abstractions.
Have a look at https://serverless.com
It supports all 3 providers, though not all languages are supported. The lowest common denominator is Node.js/JavaScript
