Azure Durable Functions

Azure Durable Functions emerges as a transformative solution in the ever-changing serverless computing landscape, enabling developers to construct complex, reliable, and highly scalable workflows. This section explores the fundamentals of Azure Durable Functions, including its fundamental concepts, supported programming languages, development tools, and the distinction between stateful and stateless operations.

Fundamentally, Azure Durable Functions is a serverless orchestration platform. Durable functions are designed to seamlessly manage long-running and complex workflows, unlike traditional serverless functions, which execute brief duties. This suits them for scenarios requiring multistep coordination, asynchronous operations, and complex state management.
