azure-durable-functions

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables the creation of sophisticated, stateful serverless workflows on Azure, managing complex orchestrations and long-running operations that traditional functions cannot handle.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Orchestration Patterns: Implement function chaining, fan-out/fan-in, async HTTP APIs, and monitoring patterns.
• Stateful Workflows: Manage complex business processes like order processing, approval workflows, and batch processing with built-in state management.
• Entity Functions: Utilize the virtual actor pattern for stateful singleton entities like shopping carts or counters.
• Use Case: Building an order processing system where an orchestrator validates an order, processes payment, reserves inventory, and sends a confirmation, with built-in error handling and retries.

Quick Start

Use the azure-durable-functions skill to generate a Node.js function chaining pattern for order processing.
