.NET developer moving into Azure Functions and Durable Functions

 For a .NET developer moving into Azure Functions, I’d prioritize learning in this order: HTTP Trigger Timer Trigger Queue Trigger Dependency Injection Configuration & app settings Blob Trigger Service Bus Logging + monitoring Durable Functions Deployment to Azure After this, the next major topic is Durable Functions (fan-out/fan-in, chaining, orchestration), which is frequently asked in interviews and used in enterprise projects. This pattern is very common in production systems. Example: E-commerce order processing HTTP Trigger       ↓ Queue Output       ↓ Queue Trigger       ↓ Process order       ↓ Blob Storage       ↓ Send Email https://chatgpt.com/share/6a151bf1-e124-8322-96f5-84b133b2a0b1 Since you're already a .NET developer, the fastest path is: understand what Azure Functions are , create one locally, run/debug it, then deploy it. Here's a practical step-by-step roadmap....

Azure function - sample in visual studio code - Run locally

 Install an older LTS Node version (for example Node 18 or Node 16 rather than the newest release): https://nodejs.org/en/download step 2: node --version npm --version step 3:  npm install -g azure-functions-core-tools@4 --unsafe-perm true step 4:  func --version step 5: dotnet --version step 6: mkdir C:\AzureDemo Step 7: func init MyFunctionApp --worker-runtime dotnet-isolated Step 8: cd MyFunctionApp step 9:create http trigger function func new Step 10: enter the function name hellofunction Step 11: It will create automatically, to check the name hellofunction.cs create new file Step 12: func start Step 13: url - http://localhost:7071/api/HelloFunction
