Durable Task Framework extension for Azure Functions

Durable Functions

Durable Functions is an extension of Azure Functions and Azure WebJobs that allows writing long-running, stateful function orchestrations in code in a serverless environment.

This extension enables a new type of function called the orchestrator function that allows you to do several new things that differentiates it from an ordinary, stateless function:

• They are stateful workflows authored in code. No JSON schemas or designers.
• They can synchronously and asynchronously call other functions and save output to local variables.
• They automatically checkpoint their progress whenever the function awaits so that local state is never lost if the process recycles or the VM reboots.

The Durable Functions extension currently ships as the Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.DurableTask NuGet package that can be referenced by an Azure Functions Visual Studio project. The project is currently in a public preview "beta" status.
