Azure Durable Functions Fundamentals
Durable Functions enables you to create reliable stateful workflows with Azure Functions. This course teaches you how to implement "fan-out fan-in" patterns, pause waiting for human interaction, and how to debug, deploy, and monitor your workflows.
What you'll learn
When you're creating workflows with serverless functions, managing errors, tracking state, and running activities in parallel can result in a lot of extra work. In this course, Azure Durable Functions Fundamentals, you'll learn how Durable Functions allows you to easily and reliably build your stateful workflows on top of the Azure Functions platform, while still taking advantage of all its benefits including scalability, rapid development, and a consumption-based pricing model. First, you'll learn how you can handle errors and track the progress of workflows. Next, you'll see how easy it is to implement advanced workflow patterns such as "fan-out fan-in" or waiting for human interaction. Finally, you'll explore how to move from local development and debugging to deploying and monitoring your durable workflows in Azure. When you’re finished with this course, you will have the skills and knowledge of Durable Functions needed to create your own reliable and durable workflows in Azure.
