AzureFunBytes Episode 65 - @Azure Durable Functions For Automation With @LBugnion
00:00:00 - Opening 00:01:19 - Azure Functions Trailer 00:04:03 - Welcome to the show Laurent 00:08:39 - The always important, "So how'd you get here?" question 00:14:10 - Introduction to Azure Functions 00:16:17 - Web API with Azure Functions 00:19:11 - More use cases 00:21:25 - How did Laurent use Durable Functions? 00:26:41 - Supported languages 00:29:30 - Visual Studio 2022 and Azure Durable Functions 00:48:00 - Creating a new Azure Functions Project with VSCode 00:52:53 - Laurent and I chat a bit about heavy metal! 🤘 This week on AzureFunBytes we're diving back into serverless technology by discussing how to write stateful functions! Azure Durable Functions is an extension of Azure Functions that lets you define stateful workflows with what is known as "orchestrator functions." You can create these stateful entities by writing entity functions using the Azure Functions programming model. When working on Azure, and especially when it comes to automating processes, Azure Functions (aka serverless functions) are very useful. But they also have some limitations. Functions are an extension of Azure Functions that overcome some of the serverless limitations. With Durable Functions, you can run long processes, execute multiple instances of functions in parallel, and more. Durable Functions scale based on need which keeps costs under control when implementing complex workflows on Azure. Some of the key features of Durable Functions include:
  • Using event driven code.
  • Chaining functions together
  • Orchestration and coordination of functions, including the order of execution.
  • State is managed for you so you don't have to write code to save state information for long-running functions.
Work on creating your code and not managing the infrastructure required. Let the Durable Functions framework take care of activity monitoring, synchronization, and runtime concerns. You can also use many of the popular programming languages you are already familiar with. Our agenda includes:
  • Functions are awesome when combined with automation triggers
  • Some of the limitations can be overcome by using durable functions
  • If you do something twice, it's worth automating. In our case, we avoid a lot of copy-paste.
