Durable Functions, Upgraded: Meet the Durable Task Scheduler

Durable Functions, Upgraded: Meet the Durable Task Scheduler

Durable Task Scheduler is the next‑generation execution engine for Durable Functions — faster, more reliable, and built to handle real‑world orchestration workloads at scale. In this session, we’ll look under the hood at what’s changed in the runtime, how the new scheduler improves performance and reliability, and why it represents the future of Durable Functions. You’ll also get a practical, developer‑focused walkthrough of how to upgrade your existing orchestrations, what to watch out for, and how to take advantage of the new capabilities right away.
