Azure durable functions is an extension of after functions that allows us to write the stateful functions and define orchestrations of other functions through Cove. It automatically handles the state, checkpoints and restarts. There are several benefits of using Azure durable functions in our projects. First of all, we can build a stateful workflows to overcome the platform's inherently stateless nature. Secondly, the functions you define as orchestrators are able to invoke other functions synchronously, or asynchronously. The result of the functions involved by the orchestrator can be saved as local valuables. All the progress made by the orchestrator and the rest of the functions is a store locally, ensuring that you never lose the state. This…
