Azure Functions Durable

Azure Functions Durable is an extension of Azure Functions that enables the development of stateful, long-running workflows in a serverless compute environment. It provides a framework for building complex orchestrations and managing state, such as handling workflows that involve multiple function calls, parallel execution, and human interaction. Durable Functions offer features like durable entities, durable timers, and external events, which simplify the implementation of stateful applications without requiring manual state management. The service integrates with Azure Storage and other Azure services to handle workflow execution and state persistence. By leveraging Azure Functions Durable, developers can create scalable and resilient applications with complex workflows, while benefiting from the serverless model's automatic scaling and cost efficiency.
