Configuring durable functions in the Azure portal

In this recipe, you'll learn about configuring durable functions. In order to develop durable functions, you need to create the following three functions:

• Orchestrator client: An Azure function that can manage orchestrator instances. It works as a client that will initiate the orchestrator objects.
