on YouTube ↗54m

" summary

Presents concrete claims and code: Azure Durable Functions (C# .NET) manage checkpoints and replay so long running stateful workflows are possible, with a deterministic orchestrator and six documented patterns. Shows a working demo: a blob trigger → Service Bus → Twilio SMS + SendGrid email workflow implemented with local Functions Core Tools, Storage Explorer and Postman, which successfully sends messages and emails. Covers function chaining and fan‑out/fan‑in, entity functions, durable timers, retries and monitoring via Application Insights.
