Azure Durable Functions for Developers

on YouTube ↗41m

" summary

Explains how Azure Durable Functions implements deterministic, stateful workflows on Azure Functions using the Durable Task framework and Azure Storage, with .NET in-process or isolated mode, Application Insights, Azure CLI and Postman for debugging, and integrations like Service Bus and SendGrid. Covers concrete patterns — function chaining, fan-out/fan-in, async HTTP API, human interaction — and shows a working automation that pulls commits from Bitbucket via REST, fan‑outs release note generation, and emails stakeholders, noting support for sub-orchestrations and scale to zero and costs for eternal orchestrations.
