I am trying to create a spring boot azure function using the following guide

https://github.com/eggboy/springcloud-azurefunction/tree/springboot3

I was able to successfully build and run the azure function on local.

but when I try to deploy and trigger the http endpoint, I am getting following error with 500 error.
Could someone help understand what is going wrong here.
