Azure Serverless Computing Cookbook - Second Edition

There's more...

In this recipe, we used DurableOrchestrationClient, which understands how to start and terminate Durable Orchestrations.

Here are a few of the important operations that are supported:

• Start an instance using the StartNewAsync method.
• Terminate an instance using the TerminateAsync method.
• Query the status of the currently running instance using the GetStatusAsync method.
• It can also raise an event to the instance to update about any external event using the RaiseEventAsync method.

You can learn more about these operations at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/durable-functions-instance-management#sending-events-to-instances.
