Description

Durable task scheduler, a fully managed backend for durable execution, is now available in public preview in Azure Container Apps. The durable task scheduler features a managed workflow engine responsible for scheduling workflow execution and persisting workflow state. Additionally, the durable task scheduler includes an out-of-the-box monitoring and management dashboard, making it easy to debug and manage workflows on demand.  

 

With the durable task SDKs, which are client SDKs that connect directly to the durable task scheduler managed workflow engine, you can author your workflows as code and rely on the durable task scheduler for efficient task scheduling and state persistence.  

 

The durable task scheduler offers:  

  • A fully managed backend for workflow task scheduling and persistence  
  • Superior performance and scalability  
  • A workflow debugging and management dashboard  
  • Security best practices with identity-based authentication  
  • A local emulator for a simple development experience
