An intro to Azure Durable Functions

Gwyneth Peña-Siguenza - Mar 19 '20 - - Dev Community

Durable Functions is an extension built on top of the Azure Functions platform and it gives you the ability to define how multiple individual functions can be orchestrated to work together in a workflow.

The extension takes care of:

  • Scalability
  • Maintains execution position of the workflow
  • Workflow state storage

Some use cases are:

  • Chained functions.
  • Fan out, fan in.
  • Human interaction.
  • Async HTTP APIs

I explain a bit more and provide a simple example of how to get started with durable functions in this video.

I plan on creating more content around Azure; it's great to share what I've been learning.

If you have ANY feedback at all, please let me know in the comments below or reach out to me on socials.

Thanks for reading and possibly watching!
