Soon we will be right back to where we were with Windows Workflow nearly a decade ago. ;) ;) ;)
Durable functions are really exciting, but it is in preview/beta, so beware of bugs. Especially this one https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-durable-extension/issues/67, when using singleton functions, bit me in the a** immediately when playing around with it :)
@slyngelstat: Yep, this is definitely preview software. Fixes and improvements are being rolled out gradually. Keep an eye on the repo for updates.
Love the SourceCode of DurableTask on github. Very nice code!
