Setting up Azure Durable Functions

Setting Up Azure Durable Functions

To get started with Azure Durable Functions, follow these basic steps in order to develop:

1. Prerequisites

Install the latest version of Azure Functions Core Tools.
Have an active Azure subscription.
Set up the Azure CLI and log in (az login).
Install .NET SDK or Node.js/Python depending on your language choice.

2. Create a Function App

func init DurableFunctionApp --worker-runtime dotnet # or node/python
cd DurableFunctionApp

3. Add Durable Function Templates

func new --name MyOrchestrator --template "Durable Functions Orchestration"
func new --name MyActivity --template "Durable Functions Activity"
func new --name HttpStart --template "Durable Functions HTTP Starter"

4. Run Locally

func start

Visit the local HTTP endpoint provided to trigger the client function.

If you start with step 5 you will bring it to the azure cloud if you have this avaiable

5. Deploy to Azure

az login
az functionapp create --resource-group <RESOURCE_GROUP> --consumption-plan-location <REGION> --runtime dotnet --functions-version 4 --name <APP_NAME> --storage-account <STORAGE_NAME>
func azure functionapp publish <APP_NAME>
