What are Durable Functions? A visual JavaScript primer

Durable Functions are a solution for managing long-running tasks that need to withstand interruptions and failures. They provide a powerful framework for building resilient, stateful applications, removing the need for manual error and retry management. In this article, we explored what Durable Functions really are, the problems they solve, and how JavaScript developers can get started with Durable Functions through Inngest's Javascript SDK. Durable Functions enhance the efficiency and reliability of long-running tasks compared to traditional approaches by providing robust state management, advanced error handling, efficient long-running process management, and enhanced scalability. They allow developers to focus on the app's main functions instead of infrastructure concerns.
