Building reliable, cloud-based workflows is not a trivial task, and yet is necessary to model real-world business processes that may take many days to complete. There are many challenges involved including: how can we keep track of workflow progress? How can we effectively handle errors wherever they occur in the pipeline? What happens if something we were waiting for never happens? What if we need to run some parts of the workflow in parallel?

In this talk, Mark will show how we can meet all of these challenges with Azure Durable Functions. We'll see how Durable Functions offers an elegant solution for constructing complex workflows out of simple building blocks, resulting in reliable, observable, scalable and efficient workflows.
