Automating DevOps Releases using .NET and Azure Durable Functions

on YouTube ↗41m

" summary

Automates release-note generation and scheduled deployments by wiring .NET Azure Durable Functions to the Bitbucket Cloud REST API and Azure DevOps REST API, using a timer trigger to run twice weekly (Tues/Thu) plus sprint releases every three weeks, fan‑out/fan‑in orchestration to fetch commits, Azure Service Bus for scheduled messages and SendGrid for emails. Built artifacts generate and publish release notes automatically, cut the repetitive paste‑and‑email work, and run in UAT with production rollout planned.
