Exercise - Build a durable document-processing workflow
In this exercise, you complete a Python Durable Functions app that processes claim documents in parallel. You add idempotent result persistence, activity retries, failure compensation, a human approval path with a timeout, fan-out/fan-in orchestration, and external event delivery. You then run and test the workflow locally with Azurite.
Tasks performed in this exercise:
- Download the project starter files
- Add durable workflow code to the Function App
- Run and test the workflow locally
This exercise takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.
Before you start
In this section you review the tools and access required to complete the exercise.
To complete the exercise, you need:
- Visual Studio Code on one of the supported platforms.
- Python 3.12 or greater.
