Function Orchestration in the world of Serverless
summary
Compares two Azure approaches: Durable Functions gives code-first stateful orchestrators that checkpoint to Azure Storage, resume without rerunning completed activities, support function chaining, fan‑out/fan‑in and waiting for external events with timers (demo shows orchestrator resuming and not duplicating work); note storage can be a scaling bottleneck. Logic Apps gives a visual designer and managed connectors to build workflows (demo wraps an image‑processing function in a for‑each and conditional, returns filtered list) and works without code.
