Microsoft docs say Durable Functions is a extension of Azure Functions.

Does that mean Durable Functions can be hosted in all the places an Azure Function can be hosted?

EDIT : Does it support to be deployed on any hosting option that Azure Functions could be deployed on?? Like Consumption, Premium , Dedicated and ASE ?

According to the documentation for Durable Functions:

Durable Functions is designed to work with all Azure Functions programming languages but may have different minimum requirements for each language. The following table shows the minimum supported app configurations:

Language stack Azure Functions Runtime versions Language worker version Minimum bundles version
.NET / C# / F# Functions 1.0+ In-process
Out-of-process n/a
JavaScript/TypeScript Functions 2.0+ Node 8+ 2.x bundles
Python Functions 2.0+ Python 3.7+ 2.x bundles
Python (V2 prog. model) Functions 4.0+ Python 3.7+ 3.15+ bundles
PowerShell Functions 3.0+ PowerShell 7+ 2.x bundles
Java Functions 4.0+ Java 8+ 4.x bundles

You can deploy Durable Function App to different plans:

  • Consumption Plan
  • Premium Plan
  • Dedicated Plan

For Consumption Plan you should take into consideration the way how the Orchestrator function is billed:

Orchestrator functions might replay several times throughout the lifetime of an orchestration. Each replay is viewed by the Azure Functions runtime as a distinct function invocation. For this reason, in the Azure Functions Consumption plan you're billed for each replay of an orchestrator function. Other plan types don't charge for orchestrator function replay

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/durable/durable-functions-billing

Extra considerations:

When running in the Azure Functions Consumption or Premium plans, the Azure Functions scale controller regularly polls all task-hub queues in the background. If a function app is under light to moderate scale, only a single scale controller instance will poll these queues. If the function app scales out to a large number of instances, more scale controller instances might be added. These additional scale controller instances can increase the total queue-transaction costs.

It's all in the official docs. Just google: "Durable Functions"

  • This helps. Is there a similar write-up for durable functions in ASEv3...in official docs? Nothing shows up as part of Google search. – GilliVilla Mar 08 '23 at 00:17
