" summary

Durable Functions is an Azure Functions extension that implements stateful serverless workflows in code using orchestrator, activity and starter functions and the Durable Task framework. Examples include C# function chaining, fan‑out/fan‑in web scraping, async HTTP status endpoints, website monitoring that escalates, and an approval flow with timeouts; storage uses Azure Storage (tables/blobs), constraints include deterministic APIs (dates, RNG, env vars), and scale testing notes 150,000 concurrent starts.
