📌 Early preview of managed backend for Durable Functions

[lilyjma]

Durable Task Scheduler

The Durable Task Scheduler (DTS) is a new storage backend for Durable Functions that's fully managed by Azure. This means you will not need to manage DTS the way you would with the current bring-your-own (BYO) backend options. Other than better manageability, DTS is also designed to enhance Durable Function's experience around monitoring and performance. For example, DTS provides an out-of-the-box dashboard that allows you to monitor the progress of orchestration instances and activities. In our early benchmark testing, DTS outperforms all of the existing BYO backends today.

DTS has first-class integration with Durable Functions, which means users with existing Durable Functions apps can easily use it without any code changes. You just need to configure your app to use DTS as the backend.

Check out our release blog post for more details about DTS and feature roadmap.

DTS is in early access preview and is free of charge now (but will be a paid service during public preview).
