What are Durable Functions?

Durable Functions is an extension of Azure Functions that lets you write stateful functions in a serverless compute environment. Behind the scenes, the extension manages state, checkpoints, and restarts for you.

Durable Functions extension is built on top of the Durable Task Framework, an open-source library on GitHub that's used to build workflows in code
